1970 Dart Steering Column Disassembly - Help Needed

Thanks Halifax. I used a screwdriver but was cautious as I didn't want to dent the housing or break anything. I will see where I can get with a puller this evening. I have let is soak in WD40 overnight to try and see if that helps. Also tried tapping the bearing with a small punch to see if I could break it free that way.

If I try and force it off, what can break?
