    Most columns have a 2 piece cover that snaps together on each side and at least 1 screw that holds it on the bottom,recessed in a pocket.I'm not sure about your Escort,but that's the standard way.I doubt that the steering wheel needs to come off.Force the 2 halves apart with a blade.

    Disconnect the linkage from the steering leg

    Unhook the wire loom form the column

    Drop the clamp that holds the column in place

    And pull it out.

    There should be a piece covering the horn that you can remove by prying it off. Then there's a big bolt in the middle to remove. You will probably need a pulley puller before it is over with also
