If you're referring to the little **** between the column and E-brake that goes in and out a few inches, that would be the driver's side leg vent. Pull it out to open, push to close.

When I took off the Grant wheel that's in place, it was lightly pressed on. Had touse a pulley puller to get it off.

Yeah, you either have to rent, borrow or buy a wheel puller.

Getting off the steering wheel is the hardest part mine broke in the process. But it is definately the only way to get it out and there is a rod right down the middle of the steering colum that is a huge pain. You must use a steering wheel puller or something that will let you get leverage behind it. If it is a six the steering rod is attached to the drive box and has to come out through the endine bay or at least mine was.
