Erik, Replacing the rag joint is easy. You can buy a rebuild kit from the "Help" section of your local auto parts store for about $10.00 or, (preferred) buy one of the new plastic couplers from the Ford Dealer. The Ford part will cost about $70.00. While your there inspect the lower column bearing for slack and pull the column up and down checking for free play. Any slack is call for a column overhaul. If you find a worn bearing replace it and lube other moving parts with white grease. The extra effort is worth the trouble and pulling the old rag joint is the hard part.

Eric, grind the ends of the old pins off and drive them out... the `new` pins bolt in place...
