Turn Signal Switch

[joedoozer]

Coming home from work today I broke the turn signal switch on my truck. I have a 72 C10, non-tilt, auto on the column.

I got the wheel off, the little aluminum hub off too. I got all the way down to the switch itself, and can't seem to get it out. The arm is off, and the screws are out, but I can't get the switch out because it is caught because of the hazard button and the center shaft in the column.

Do I need to pull that whole part of the column off off the shaft? The bearing looks to have seen better days. It will be fine, if I don't mess with it.

So I want to get as much info on this before I make a bad day into a worse one.

Thanks for the help in advance.
