You do not remove the steering shaft from the steering gear on a B model. The steering gear case has to be dissassembled to remove the column/shaft from the gear while out of the truck.

Easiest way I've found is to unhook the steering linkage from the gearbox,unbolt it from the frame and pull it out in one piece.Alot times the steering wheel is a pain in the ass to pull,plus you have to lift the cab high enough to clear the steering column,this elimnates both problems.
