steering box r&r

Are they as easy as they look? couple hoses, drag link, and steering shaft and it comes right out? Or is there glitches I'm not noticing? Thanks!!

Yes, I'm sure a few will balk at this, but I'm putting a low-mileage used one in. I've heard the stories of rebuilt ones, and the $$ of a brand new one....
