how'* the quality of the work everyone is getting with the shaft replacements? are they doing it without removing the column (as one of the threads here detailed)? is it easy to get everything back together as new or does stuff get torn away and hard to repair

need mine done but afraid it might cause more problems than its worth to get at it...

I was at work and my wife brought it in.
I can't tell what they did. No trace of any disturbances within the cockpit but I know they were under the hood cause they put a dent in my engine cover.
