Dave,
I replaced mine as well with the Teflon ones.  Sure are smooth!.  You 
must remove the instrument panel top overlay to get at the screws 
holding the bearing cup in place.  Do not over tighten.  Removing the 
yoke is easy.  Simply remove the bolt that attaches the yoke shaft to 
the u-joint behind the dash.  Takes only 3 minutes to do.
