It's not quite that easy. You need to remove the steering rack. Basically what we did was this.

Jack up car
Remove the bolts from front subframe and allowed the whole rack to collapse off the steering column.
Pulled off transmission bolts to oil pan. (There's 2 if I remember correctly)
Take out all the little bolts in the oil pan. Don't forget the two up through the bell housing.

If you need some help shoot me a pm. I don't think I found an online write up to help but it's pretty straight forward. Just remove what's in the way and MAKE SURE you match mark the steering column at BOTH SECTIONS.

We only marked the lower part of the steering column and it came apart at the second connection higher up so we had to eye ball it to try and line the steering wheel up.
