cause the latch housing is cast aluminum, it's breaks fairly easy when you have a breaker bar attached and pushing hard. It's also a pain to replace.
It will take some abuse, bet get roudy with it and you'll be pulling apart the rest of the column and trying to get out security bolts.

impact wrench is best.

Impact wrench would be best and easiest. Just put some muscle into it, it should come off.
