Your blue area is probably galled and frozen. Grease it through the fitting, then try a rubber mallet to knock the top part further in to get clearance to remove. That's what I did. Then it was stuck in short mode so I wrapped 1/8 wire rope through the endeds and around thee base and sadfle of a 2 ton floor jack to pull it apart for proper cleaning and lubing. If it has not been sliding that takes out the lower column bearing. When you mate the intermediate shaft coupling on reassembly to the lower spline of main column, be sure it is full homed so bolt fits in relief cut. Lenzi found like 5 coaches on inspection day where that was improperly installed.
