There are a few guys on the board who rebuild columns. I got mine from Randy500, who is no longer a board member. I believe the only special tool needed would be a steering wheel puller, which you can buy for relatively cheap or rent from your local auto parts store.

I also upgraded to the later style two piece drive shaft, but you won’t have to do that. I was happy with the end product, but you may want to look into replacing that, too since I think it has some wear items.

Two piece driveshaft is an upgrade. I’m having a one piece made so I never have change that low quality carrier bearing again.
