One method used to achieve an upward pull on a steering column while employing a come-along is:

Using a large piece of cribbing between the top of the dashboard and the pulling chain is an effective method to achieve an upward pull on a steering column when using a come-along. This technique works by creating a stable fulcrum point. The cribbing acts as a wedge that securely supports the dashboard while the come-along exerts a pulling force on the steering column, allowing for both leverage and control in the extraction process.

This method minimizes the risk of damage to the surrounding components of the vehicle and increases safety by ensuring that the dashboard does not move unexpectedly during the operation. Additionally, it allows for a more directed application of force, which can help to reposition the steering column without requiring excessive manual force or risk of injury to the rescuer.

The other methods may not provide the necessary stability or might complicate the extrication process while also posing additional safety risks.
