It's a NIGHTMARE and simply requires patience. I have replaced several of these "Ignition Rack Actuator". It takes about three hours and a couple "SPECIAL" tools that I made myself. Biggest proablem I've had is purchasing just the actuator without buying the entire kit from Buick. The kit costs over $50 and I've been able to get just the actuato9r for around $16 + ship.
