I have a dodge 04 1500 ram and we are working on getting the steering column out? autozone said that we need to take it out but cant find out how to take it all the way out?

To remove the column from the vehicle you should not have to dissassemble the column if you mean the plastic that the shaft goes thru. If you mean the plastic cover that is behind the column under the dash there should be 4 screws to remove then a metal plate to remove, then remove the transmission position indicator from the column( which ios a small black cable that tells you if you are in park drive ect... , Then the four nuts holding the column to the dash. Unplug all the wiring plugs. then loosen the set screw that holds the shaft to the universal joint and it should come out as an entire assembly. Does that help ? Why do you have to remove it ? What are you trying to repair ? I can help.
