Default Help on multi-function switch

Posted a request in the for sale section for a used manual to help but...

I need to replace my switch in an 02 Z06 and have no idea how to do it. part alone was over 300 bucks through the dealer but thankfully Gene was able to get it cheaper at the warehouse (thanks a ton!). Now i just need to figure out to do the swap. I've never pulled a steering wheel or airbag before so i am a bit anxious about this install. Any do-it-yourselfers have a write up for me on this one? Kind of a pain in the rear for a simple tail light/parking light problem!

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place...tech seemed the best spot to ask.

Here's a pictorial with all you need. Thanks to Alaskanpilot for the info.
And you don't have to remove the wheel or the airbag!

I had headlight/tail light problems too and found the writeup on fixing the switch for No $.

Works great for 2 hours of work and no money spent.

I replaced mine and the steering wheel removal wasn't necesary. This was on a '99.
