Default hotchkis STB install

Just bought a new Hotchkis STB with no install instructions. Is it fairly easy to install? Should I be able to figure it out? I'm not real sure where the two I guess shims go? Any pics or help will be a great help. Thanks

I never got any shims (bought used) and never even
noticed.

It will go easier if you disassemble, put the "feet" in
place with the nuts barely onto the studs and pilot
the cross-bolts in with a fat Phillips screwdriver and
then dog down the nuts.

The first time I put it on was some work, but the
car seems to have "taken a set" to it now.
