Steering gear replacement

[El Brando]

Anyone ever done it themselves? Ive gotten an estimate of $700ish and I found the part for $125. So I picked up a chilton and looked at the procedure and Im thinkning its within my ability to do with a buddy's help and a case of beer. Anyone ever done it or anyone have any insight? Maybe a DIY? Thanks in advance yall.

ive done it twice. best go with a used gm power steering gearbox or new gm. stay away from the rebuilt ones thats why i did it twice. ull need a Ball Joint and Tie Rod Separator. u should start removing thing from the bottom up. also have some help you hold the PS gear box up while you bolt it up.
