If you know how to use a pitman arm puller it is pretty straight forward. just make sure you do not turn the steering wheel after disconnecting the shaft from the box. I push seat up and run seatbelt trough it and then move seat back to lock it in position. If u just use the ignition lock u will not be able to move the suspension back and forth to get right angle to seperate pitman arm. make sure u have a line wrench for power steering lines. I think it is an 18mm maybe a 16mm. when u fill system back up with fluid work steering wheel lock to lock with engine off and suspension in air. that will bleed system so when u start it u dont put wear on the ps pump.
