How to replace Intermediate Steering Shaft?

1997 Tacoma 2.4L 2rz-fe
I recently noticed a knocking under the driver side floorboard at speeds over 60mph. I went under and located the location of the knock. It appears to be the Intermediate Steering Shaft

What's the best way to remove and replace this?

 

There was a recent thread about this ….installing/parts needed

lemme see if I can find

I was JUST getting this noise as well. I was planning to replace the engine mounts and Lo-and-behold the drivers side mount was loose.

It would be worthwhile and easy to check the bolts just to make sure.

 

Thank you!

 

NP!!!

let everyone know what happens

 

That thread is a different model. So now I'm trying to figure out if it's the lower intermediate shaft or upper intermediate shaft that needs replacing.

I'm still not 100% comfortable with the remove and replace steps.
