The tech that was working on it kinda pointed me in the direction of this topic. (not here specifically)
Update: Got it working thanks again.
Just my small contribution
For a couple of steps in ermax walkthrough that helped me.
Remove column nuts
Using a 12mm socket with extension remove the two bolts which hold the column to the chassis
and
Remove EPS motor
Using a 12mm socket with extension remove the two bolts holding the motor to the EPS unit (Green Line is where the separation is) Which I used a flat head screwdriver to carefully pry open.

Regarding the two "bolts" holding the column to the chassis:
I found they are 14mm "nuts" on bolts as some have said. But also how would everyone rate how hard was it to get those nuts loose? Mine do not budge and I am in danger of rounding the nuts off.
Possible my socket isn't deep enough. Going to get another one to be sure, but I stopped at this point because I'm a bit freaked out the nuts were starting to round. I triple checked I was using a 14mm socket also.
