1st Gen steering coupler

The infamous steering coupler on my first gen is done for, got to get it inspected this week, and I have one day (sunday) to get it fixed and drivable before I have to go back to work. Can I get the part from a place like Autozone and what kind of tools do I need and what can I expect? I tried a search and nothing came up on the availabilty of the part or how it is done. Any help is appreciated.
