How to remove PS box

I have to admit that any time I have dealt with steering issues its been because the steering was sloppy and I determined the issue was inside the coupler so of course my answers draw upon my experience. Just IF advise not intended to be "be all end all" A-Z how to.

No worries. I wasn't trying to start anything. Just didn't want him thinking he had to rebuild the coupler to take out the steering column. I ended up not seeing the later posts that cleared that up before posting my own anyway, so my bad.
