The upper shaft on the '01 will connect to a U-joint on the steering column, under the dash. Another U-joint is on the intermediate shaft that connects to the lower shaft under the hood. This is collapsible, meaning that it can be shortened. Remove the bolts on each end of the shaft and collapse it down to remove it. There should be a flange at the firewall that you will need to remove.
The lower shaft is attached to the steering gear via a 'rag joint', remove a bolt connecting the lower part of this rag joint to the steering gear, pull it off and it's removed. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.
