it is not too difficult to install but i didnt find it easy either. drilling the hole through the steering shaft for the roll pin was a PITA and you have to be careful when cutting the shaft … i did it exactly like the instructions told me to and ended up with a steering shaft which was 1" too short. so better take some measurements BEFORE cutting …
Yep,thats what I thought. Yours is the one for power steering?
