Shoebox has a great writeup for this. I did mine w/o the writeup since I didn't know about it until afterwards. It's not hard, just cumbersome if you do it my way(Leaving the steering column in the car and laying on your side/back in the floorboard while working on it). Shoebox has you take the column out.
Good Luck!

I followed his procedure as well, and it was a very easy fix. Sounds worst than it actually is. I certainly recommend pulling the whole column out of the car, it's worth the extra effort.

Like the other gent said, there's less cussing and skinned knuckles by pulling the column. Probably an hour if you've done it before. First time always takes the longest.
