I assuming you're talking about replacing the lower of the two steering couplings, right?

If you're careful you wouldn't have to remove the lines from the steering box. Simply removing the bolts (or two of the three if you could swing it) to give enough play should enable you to remove the coupling.

I'm curious as to why you're replacing them, they almost never seem to be warn out to me (I see quite a few of them). And they can't really fail in any way which would make the steering unsafe. (I've personally torn several apart)
