Extraction is the same on the donor as on his car, not complicated enough
for pictures. Pry the roundel, release the nut, lift the wheel away, then
release the few screws from the bottom to release the top of the column
cover, exposing the stalk/switch assembly. A couple of screws to release
it, disconnect one big integrated connector. Installation is the reverse of
removal.
