Pitman arm, 4 bolts, and 2 hoses, and steering shaft coupler has 1 bolt. Pretty easy to do.

Make sure you don't spin the wheel with the gearbox off or you can screw up your clock spring. I would mark there you take the shaft off and maybe put a strap on the steering wheel so nothing gets out of sync.

Might have something to do with the steering. Just a thought, but my 12 threw a fit with the esp a few times before I recentered the steering wheel. It's been perfectly fine since I've done that.
