Bentley is the best source.

Briefly/basically you.................
Probably disconnect battery
remove air bag
remove steering wheel (mark position with steering shaft for correct
alignment)
remove both upper and lower shield pieces covering the turn signal switch
remove switches
remove steering wheel collar with puller
remove entire ign switch assembly (might need key turned to unlock position)
remove tiny screw to remove ign switch
Reverse above procedure to reassemble.

good luck!
later,
dave
