I did this for my own column last spring. Here are the directions from the 1960 shop manual. Need to step on the upper lever to compress the spring, then tap from the top of the column with a wooden block. Mine took some doing, but I didn't need a BFH or anything. It's step #5 and fig 26, sorry for rotated pic. "Mast jacket" is the outer tube.
