and don't forget the metal disc locking washer that goes on the column too

if you are flexable you can swap them over in about 15 minutes, just make sure you don't have the engine running for about 5 hours beforehand as, depending on what car you've got, it's VERY close to the exhaust manifold
I'm assuming you take the whole column out of the car and replace the bushes on the bench. I have a "left hooker" so its on the other side, it just means that it is impossible to change the plenum chamber instead
