Steering gearbox install

Any one out there got diagrams, instructions and or torque specs for replacing a steering gearbox for a 94 E320. I scored the part for $115.00 (shipped) with 6 mo warranty and I am going to crack into it next weekend.

Thanks

These are adjustable, are you sure the box is bad?

Pretty sure. I got a lot of lane dancing going on at 45mph or better. I put the car up on the jack stands and went over the entire steering and suspension set up. If the wheels are turned all the to the right there is about 1/2 inch (if you use a bit of force) of play. If you move the wheel all the way to the left there is about 2 1/4 inches of play. All of the bushings and linkage is in good shape no movement on the tie rods or ball joints. They are all tight. The movement is coming from inside the shaft of the gear box. If I can adjust that out that would be awesome. How does one go about getting the procedures for that?
