Remove the steering wheel first.
Take out the front seat, you'll be spending some time under there taking the larger bolts loose. Not 100% needed but helps.
Remove the little vent cover where it connects to the door, and remove the cardboard tube that connects it to the plastic duct. Give much better visibility to what you need to disconnect. Not 100% needed but helps.
Read the instructions on replacing the steering column bushing since it's almost the same job. As mentioned, replace the bushing if it isn't 100% perfect.

Quite honestly there isn't any good reason that you can't weld the cage. Or find a good welding shop to do it.
