it was helpful.. but kinda what started this mess... while it is easy to remove parts remembering where they went is harder and it isn't quite detailed enough

it took me a couple hours to do mine. I didn't find it difficult, although there were a couple parts of the process that could have been.
Pulling out the pins at the base of the steering column (#29 in the pic) is impossible if you don't have a pulling tool, and even then, make for damned sure you don't strip the threads or you're in trouble.
Other than that, the only issue is getting the column lock ring back on (#4 in the picture). I didn't have the special tool they make, so I had to use two blocks of wood to press on the lock gear while my father set the locking ring into place.
