Randy,

You'll need a 27mm socket (1-1/16" will get ya by) a 6" extension, a breaker bar all in a 1/2" or 3/4" size. It would be nice to have a torque wrench to tighten the 27mm nut back with... Other than that the rest is pretty much a small screw driver to pick up the star washer points, a hammer to tap down the new bushing into place, that's about it... It's a 30 minute job...

Just a tip, I have a deep hub so starting the 27mm nut with my fingers is hard, so i wrap the nut once around with masking tape, stick the nut into the socket, then start the nut onto the steering post. As soon as the nut is started I remove the masking tape. Oh, don't forget to put the flat washer on first...

The bushing comes with 2 pages of instructions and pictures... Out of all the bushings that have been sold, I've only had "1" guy in a rush that forgot to leave off the star washer and screwed up the install.
