just finished one, remove the deck, steering rods for the fan gear (the one with all the teeth, remove the nut then pull the column, why are you changing it assuming the small gear is out could be the busing, one at the bottom and one at the top if I remember correctly, when you put it back in make sure your steering wheel is located right count the gears put if on the center tooth so you will have equal turning left to right, not that bad.
