They went on really well after I removed the cab on the restoration. Just make sure you hold the upper stem and dust shield from turning and then remove the nut, grommet retainer and grommet, then hold the bottom and stem and remove the nut the same way. Pretty easy, providing everything isnt rusted in place.
