You need a second person to waggle the steering wheel and obviously you need the wheel not to move or you'll be a spline or so out when reconnected and it won't be straight. Other than that it makes getting to that back bolt a lot easier.

What a pita. Mine came out easily though I'm sure another bolt will get me lol. Glad you got it in the endI'm in the middle of a top-end refresh, I was looking at the Roverparts gasket kit from Atlantic british.
I'm just about to tackle the exhaust manifold, mine look munted so not particularly excited to get started on that
I had an unexpected adversary in the form of a power steering pump bolt, it rounded off and I had to give it a good whack with a hammer and chisel to get it out, took about 3 hours
Good luck!

I did this today. It was somewhat painful but I managed to get that bolt out with a series of extensions and wobble joints without removing the steering shaft.
The first bolt was a PITA as well actually.
