first it's a pain. you have a GM steering column so parts are not a problem but you will need some special tools to make this happen. one is a steering wheel puller the other is a lock plate remover. pop the steering wheel center off and you will see a big nut, remove it first then install the puller and pop off the steering wheel. remove plastic dust cover and install the lock plate removal tool. tighten it up until you see a gap around the "C" clip at the base of the steering shaft. using two small screw drivers push down (yes down) on one end of the clip. insert the other small screw driver in the groove that you just pushed the c clip out of. now, with that in place, take the first screw driver and slip the clip over the second driver and walk it around until its free. (this can be very trying so be prepared). once the c clip is free remove the tool and the lock plate. you now for three screws that hold the switch in place. remove them and the emergency 4 way button and turn signal lever. now for the fun. under the dash and on top of the steering column is a long flat connector. remove it from it's mount, separate the connector and carefully pull the switch and connector out. fish the other one in and reverse the removal instructions. good luck, as this can be a 12 pack job.
