Quote from Sexton's writeup:
'The good news is the repair can be made while the transmission is in the car in the case of a 126 it's pretty easy - in other chassis the trans needs to be dropped just a little although people have reported success, with some effort, of doing it to 123 and 107 chassis with the tranny in place. It's not a terribly expensive repair either, the part is about $100 and it'll take you a couple of hours. While there's a few steps to this it's really only a little worse than changing a spark plug and you don't need of be a master mechanic to do this.'

Don't be afraid. If you could, please post photos for the forum
