Rag joint and steering box removal

I'm reaching out in Hope's to get help with disassembly instructions for the rag joint and power steering gear box for my 1972 k2500. I bought a new gear box and rag joint and need to replace them. The steering is pretty loose and I discovered the rag joint is I. Really bad shape and the gear box was in bad shape and had 40 years of dirt packed In it. Also I was leaking pretty good. I started to take the buts off of the rag joint but realized it was a little more thank just taking the bolts off and removing it. I can handle the gear box once I get the pitman arm off so that shouldn't be a problem. It is my daily driver and I dont want to get stuck and screw my self because I can get it back together or break something trying to get it off because I was missing something I am thinking about replacing the intermediate steering shaft also while I ha e it apart. But I plan to go with tilt steering after summer so I might just fix the rag joint an gear box. Any guidance would be great. Thank you everyone .
