1994 Ford Ranger Rag Joint/ Steering Coupler Replacement----

[dpfurby]

I have the rubber disc style of steering coupler from the factory on my 1994 Ford Ranger It is showing some signs of cracking over the last 217000 miles.

I should replace this soon.

Took some measurements and found the correct replacement at the OReilly's auto parts chain store. Price was around $12.

Now I have the part in hand.

Could somebody post the replacement procedure?? Do I have to drop the steering column??

Any help appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!
