Yes! You'll have to get someone else to pick up your fingers.

Not a difficult job, but you'd need a decent set of spring compressors.

I wouldn't suggest a cheapo set, Omega springs are quite hefty. Considering the limited amount of use they'll get, I went a bit overboard when I bought my Teng compressors, there's 3 & they have a safety latch on them too.

Not a bad job to do really, the steering makes a sort of grinding/clonking noise when turning, full lock was bad on a few I have done.

I have found pretty much any of the compressors available are ok.

I have even used a set of these before with no issues.
