Cut off the old helm and installed the new one. Pretty easy stuff. Took less than 30 mins. Just turning the wheel in my garage and it has WAY less play. Going test tomorrow.
 
I reused my wheel so I didn't get to break out the sawzall. Good to hear your steering is behaving the way you want it to. I was surprised my new helm did not come with a new key so I was happy I was able to save the old one. It's probably rusted in place now since my boat sits in the water at the dock from Apr to Oct.

My new helm did not have a woodruff key either.
