'67 Fry Fix

Anti-theft.
Just finished pulling the column.
With no pin in the joint, just remove the plastic column cover, 3 bolts into the firewall, 3 nuts holding the column, as well as the 4 bolts holding the bracket to the column, tach, unplug harness, pull.

Lower bearing is hurting.
What's the deal with the black paper?
