Ed, the technical bulletin on SCOF does talk about the installation, however, most of the nitty gritty is explained (purportedly) by reference to another bulletin on SCOF about transmission removal? there must be a way to either remove the tunnel section of the cockpit, but it didn't look (from under the car at least) as though there is a way to remove the cover. After getting the top tower off, I installed my new tower by dismantling it into 2 main sections, the large base will fit from underneath, and then the hole cutout in the console just need to be widend only enough to fit the top ring of the tower. Had I known about the impossibility of fitting the entire tower from underneath between the drive shaft, I would not have wasted time trying to get it to fit, or other maneuvers to get it all assembled and on top, lined up with the holes. I also reused the plastic socket liner, suggest you do the same.
