Just did mine last week from Corvettes of Houston. 10 minutes. As easy as pie.

Might be a little tricky your first time, the only real challenge is locating the correct connector you need to separate and plug the CLB into.
Dropping the knee bolster (the only actual disassembly work) is easy.

But once you get it done, you'll realize how simple it is.

Hardest part is taking off the access panel under the steering column. Other than that, its very easy.

It took me about the same time and I have a hard time walking and chewing gum. I wish I had the pictures when I did mine last week.
