Not hard be sure you mark lines on the tube and steering gear so all lines up put it back together or your steering wheel will be off center.don't ask how I know!my center pin was froze on shaft so I took the colunm out of the car to press old center pin out of shaft be sure you watch how the 2 little shoes come off the center shaft thay are longer than they are wide so need put back on correctly or there will be alot of play in coupler!!!
