Mine was particularly diffuicult because the old nylon cup was in really bad shape (120k miles). UUC sends this "tool" (actually it doesn't deserve to be called a tool since it did absolutely no good) that you are supposed to use while under the car, to 'push up and twist' to break the old nylon cup out of it's housing. I spent 40 min trying with all of my strength to do this and finally decided to try it from inside the car (above the shifter) with the crossed flat-head screwdriver approach. This worked in 1.5 minutes and if I had to do it again I wouldn't waste anytime under the car trying with the "tool".
After getting the old cup out it's really a piece of cake. Although I did wuss-out at the end where you're supposed to replace some invisible bushings. I'm going to wait until I buy a mirror on a rod with a light before trying that part. I'm not a big fan of instructions that say 'memorize how this picture looks since you'll have to do the rest by feeling the parts'.
What else have you done to your car? Better yet, which car do you have?

you know I thought of doing that shifter thing but was woundering if it was worth it.Do you have pics.
