Who knows how to replace steering gear?
Anyone know how much is involved with replacing the steering gear on a s/c? Its driving me nuts but dont want to buy the gear at 300, and then need a column which is only 400. Any info is appreciated, im out of warranty and chevy wants $650... so I gotta figure something else out..
thanks!!!
