The only one I know off-hand that has been into the column is TopNotch.  PM or email him.  He may be able to give some pointers.

Do you have a picture of what you are having trouble with? I'm not near my cars right now. I have had a couple of columns out and can't picture it.

According to the PM he sent to me, he's having trouble getting the steering column to go all the way into the clamp at the U-joint, as seen in this picture...

I told him to remove the little bolt entirely, then hammer either a screwdriver or knife blade into the crack of the clamp to spread it apart. Then the column will go all the way in.

Yes, I agree that it needs to be spread apart
