Strife,
I'm going to do it the column shaft way. The steering shaft coupler bolt was accessed from inside the car working around the around the column boot cover, not to tough but real was real tight (cracked like a nut when it broke). The second bolt cannot be accessed inside, not enough room even after cutting down an Allen wrench.

I tried the steering box coupler bolt from the engine compatment, but with 2 feet of extensions getting the hex key to seat properly in the bolt head was almost impossible. I almost stripped out the bolt hole. In order to get the bolt out from underneath the car you need to clear the firewall and seat the allen key in the bolt firmly (a tough angle).

A hex key socket was to fat and I couldn't get the hex bit to seat properly without hittlng the firewall. In order to get that coupler bolt out you need a straight 6" long or longer hex allen key in the bolt head, the other end connected to a 1/4" 6mm socket. I used a 1/4" to 3/8" socket adapter on the socket with a 10" extention and a breaker bar. This gave me room to turn the breaker bar without interference and allowed the key to fit straight into the bolt hole giving me enough torque to break the bolt out. Mine was in real snug and it took some muscle to loosen it, and it made a loud crack when the bolt finally broke free.

Step one completed, we'll see how everything else goes this week, hopefully without to much pain, but I doubt it.
