Default Need Advice on Pedal Box Removal

G'day all,

Unfortunately I've been struck by the dreaded bent manual pedal box and need to remove it to make repairs. Unfortunately, after about 2 hours, I can't get the damn thing out! I've done a search and read all I can from previously discussed threads on this issue but I need some tips on what I can do to help.

So far I've:
-Disconnected ALL parts from the pedal box
-Loosened the brake master cylinder from the firewall
-Pulled away some of the sound deadening material from the firewall
-Got a headache from lying on my back for several hours

I can't quite squeeze the brake master cylinder shaft out of the pedal box and I can't rotate the pedal box far enough to slide it out under the steering column. I'm getting tempted to try and take out the steering column but I'd like to avoid doing so.

Any advice would be awesome.
