hey there isnt mutch to it ay just undo your oil lines ( oil will run everywere get a bucket and some rags dont do it on your drivway)
undo the stearing link and then undo the 2 bolts from the coupling then undo the 4 that hold it on and then put it back together and ya done
once u have the new one on jack the front wheels of the ground and fill the pump up and with the car running steer from left to right a dozen times or so continually filling the oil as u bleed the air out
thats about all the advice i can give ya
unless any one has any other idears...
good luck

sounds like you have been spoiled with a rebuilt steerin box that has either had the pitman arm marked or replaced they same way it came off mousie

i' m not that lucky the arm has just been put back on what looks to be nearly 180 degrees from where it should be.

any suggestions ??
