You'll need to replace the helm pump and then bleed the system. The tilt helm may require a different hole in the dash or at least an adapter to fit, depending on your current setup. The steering wheel should fit on the new helm.

to be honest, prob much more work and expense than it is worth. you only get a couple of additional positions.
