Angry 1993 B250 van steering coupler repair.

Since the replacement coupler is no longer avail, have a new "rebuild kit"...bag of pieces :-(((((. Any source for instructions for installation?? Can find nothing via google or the forum re installation of kit except for pickups.
Thanks

If it's the 'rag joint', likely the repair process is going to be the same for just about any vehicle that uses it.

I know the images are missing but see what you can dig up here. BTW, that coupler he used is still available.

Default 1993 B250 van steering coupler repair.

I'm talking about the rectangular box like coupler; between steering box and the shaft coming out of the firewall. No rag joint on the '93 B250. Any suggestion on process of removing coupler and rebuilding. I have factory manual but it does not cover the "hard stuff".
Thanks for your inputs.

Yeah, the thread alloro referenced used the universal joint in place of the coupler. According to theory, the rebuild kits are 'still available', but, that comment was 10 years ago, so, I think you would have fun trying to find one......
