I think a second time around would be easier but be prepared for some trouble with the highpressure hose and low pressure house. It is a press fitting which goes from the pump into the pinion. Mine was rusted up and broke coming out. Remember when taking it out remove the screw on the clamp and pry straight out. The clamp holds a pressure hose and another low pressure hose which when replaced should swivel freely, 10ft/lbs of torque. I had to have the hose specially ordered from Ford which took about 3 days. Also had trouble with getting the damn unit out ,had to remove the stabilizer bar and end links. I took the time to replace the bushings on the endlinks from the moog to energy suspension. I am a half decent mechanic and it is do-able but be prepared.</p></blockquote><p></p>
