It's not hard. It's a little tight in there, so if you have big hands you'll have a tougher time.

It's tight. The best tool to use is a set of long spade-style pliers to clamp the bushings into place. On my car that was HARD to do. Otherwise the install is really straightforward. Slide the base of the shift boot forward and carefully work it free. Then pull up on the **** to remove it, which might also be hard. Finally a couple of snap rings to remove (watch the springs), pull the old lever off the pins, install new one with a little grease, bushings and no springs.

Jeez. I cant even believe I asked..... that was too easy. I used a reg. screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

Thank you Mark A!
Just received mine - along with a leMons race suit!
Now - if I leave the name tag on, does the suit drive itself?
