And I don't need to buy any new parts if I follow the pdf instructions? I don't want to mess it up and have to pay to have it fixed.
The pin & spring are what is removed to solve the problem. No new parts needed. If taken to the dealer for fix they will charge you $300 to replace the switch which will eventually have the same problem later on. Removing the pin & spring is a permanent fix and doesn't affect any steering lock. The fix has been well tested by many members and is totally safe. Has been done on both of my XFs.
