Minor suggestions for the DIY:

1. Add in the necessity of a 12mm 12 point socket for the OEM rod bolt removal.

Extra tips and time savers:

1. Use a piece of piece of thick tape, placed on the steering column across the joint, and then use a box cutter to slice the tape right at the joint. The 3 dimensional marker works great and makes lining things up afterwards super easy.

2. To create more of a production line type efficiency, consider buying 3 inexpensive 3/8" 12 point sockets for the ARP bolt install
Thanks for adding to the group knowledge with the additional thoughts/tips! I just wanted to emphasize the points above, having done this recently I think these are excellent tips (as are the rest).

Thanks again to SYT_Shadow for the full DIY and best of luck to others who take this job on.
