Dave, It's a DIY job for many. Just depends on your level of confidence. It's fairly straightforward. The broken strand(s) may be at a sharp turn. Here's the link to Touche's complete steering system rebuild and upgrade. You might find some wisdom and/or encouragement in there. https://drive.google.com/file/d/115qLR3c13N2THCRpsOF-7UGGJBweFXfd/view?usp=sharing I found a broken strand. I also removed the pedestal. However, I removed it to paint it. For your situation, you shouldn't have to remove the pedestal. -- Dennis C.
