[C320-list] Steering Quadrant: 5-6 hours to replace?

[Kevin]

Chris - I looked around the association web site and only found a couple photos, but no information on replacing the quadrant. I must be missing something. Might you be able to suggest where I should look?

John - It's a small, hairline crack. I'll post a photo of it this 
weekend.

Thanks, everyone, for the tips.

My 320  is also a 1995, so I was wondering where did you find the crack? Is it obvious or just a hairline crack? Thanks, John     Holokai 2

You can certainly do it if you have basic mechanical skills and can follow
instructions.

All the information you should need can be found on the Association website
and in Edson's website. Review those materials and then post any specific
questions here that they leave unanswered for you.
