Try dropping the steering column down a bit by undoing the bolts holding it to the cross beam, that should give you the clearance needed.

if you only need to remove it to say change the ignition lock, undo the upper ign lock housign bolt then undo and remove the UJ bolt at the bottom. Then the whole column will come out with ign lock housing attached :)
