You just need the mount kit not the repair kit. I just did both sides this past weekend, if you want any pointers.

Re: DIY guide rods

Ok I searched for that information but did not find it and I was trying to get this done in one day so I went ahead. I do not see that I missed any thing. The only real problem I has was that one of the allen head bolts on the back of the mount housing stripped out (not the threads in the housing, but the allen hole in the head of the bolt was rounded off). I had to use a chop saw to cut a slot in the head like a screw and then used a BIG screwdriver with a wrench on it to turn the bolt.

It did take a press to get the mount out of the housing.
