How on Gods green earth do you get the steering shaft apart from the steering box?? Are there some bolts undneath the sleeve that covers the shaft?? Anyone got a cutting torch???
j/k. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm a member of a few other late model Mustang web sites. This is by far the nicest and most helpful. Thanks for your help so far.

It is an integral unit. It doesn't come apart.

On the '65-'66 the shaft is part of the box. You have to drop the box to get it out of the column. This is why they are called "long-shaft steering boxes". It is also one of the things about our cars that is the least safe.

Thats what i thought. Now i've just gotta take the header out. Fun fun fun. You know if someone has a head on or rear ends someone that steering column isnt gonna give much. Thanks for the help guys.

You can always cut it and put in a rag joint. That would be better than the solid shaft and would minimize vibrations as well.
