Steering column woes

I have a '93 Grand am and the nylon knuckle inside the steering column is shattered so the car will not turn at all. I've got the steering column lowered down from the dash but I do not have any idea how to pull it the rest of the way out, also how do I disconnect the transaxle cable and remove the steering column the rest of the way.

Welcome to AF.

The other end of the colum is attached to the rack and pinion, this link here (http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/0e/5c/ac/0900823d800e5cac/repairInfoPages.htm)might help.
