Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench set
Removed the gas tank for working space,then removed the dash and the shaft retainer to remove the steering wheel and shaft.
Replaced the gear and bushings and added the support plate that my early model did not have. This removed the play in the gear and allowed the steering shaft the fit tightly removing the looseness in the steeri ng ,when it was reassembled, it was better than new.

Taking everything off to get to the gear assembly including moving gas tank, top of dash, dropping the front of the deck, removing front tires...After fighting with the phillips screw at the bottom of steering shaft for an hour finally had to use torch to heat it then use the 1/2\" impact to break it loose...If you follow your exploded pa rts list and not lose any parts this repair is just time consuming but is not that hard...
