I have noticed some play in the steering wheel that didn't used to be there. I think it is in the steering coupler under the gas tank. I am in the process of replacing my gas tank and the old one is removed. How much of the steering linkage must be removed to check this coupler? Big job? Will the steering rack have to come off?

You don't need to remove the steering rack. Just unbolt the plate above the coupler and push the boot up. Then remove the coupler bolts and push the rod up. Slide the old coupler out, and slide the new one in. Or you could do like one of our brethren north of the border did, and replace the coupler with a hockey puck.
