its not that hard to replace..... if i recall its like 4 bolts, 2 nuts and loosening of a c clamp! a lift will make it a lot easier, however.

dont forget the exhaust and shift linkage you need to remove first.

its actually not so bad. there is a trick to it to get the pinion out of the steering column and then out. but youll figure it out.
