Follow the SHBOX method and its really a piece of cake. I've got the method down that it takes me roughly 15 minutes to do it. Of corse I've done it to all four of my fbodys, and both sides on two of em, so I've got a little experience in that department, heheh. I've gotten all mine at parts america/advance auto parts, all had a lifetime warranty and I never had to use it.

I will tell you one thing though be careful not to drill the rivets out to the regulator. I can not explain how hard it is to get everything back right not to mention how dangerous it is . When I did mine I did it and let me tell you it will take you f'n hand off. I had to reload the spring, I was all by myself it was a mess. I got it though. I’m still burned out from that side I haven’t got around to doing the drivers side yet, been about 3 weeks and I’m still mad. LoL
