That cover does come off but you have to remove the “upper” cover, closer to the driver so to speak. I think it’s only 3 large Phillips head screws if I recall correctly. There is a little arm, for lack of a better term, that has to be positioned appropriately to function the dimmer linkage. Sorry, I don’t know the proper terms but I do have a spare column I redid in my shed I’d tear down for you to show you if you end up needing it. I don’t think I have any pictures when I took mine apart but I’ll look.
If you remove everything including the turn aignal switch you’ll see those 3 big screws I’m talking about.
