When you pull the steering wheel you expose the lock plate, you remove the lock plate by getting the sleeve in the center off then drive out the roll pin.... Now your looking at the turn signal switch... In the center of the turn signal switch is the bearing, it's secured to the steering column by a plate that also captures the turn signal switch... Three screws & the plate is out.. There is a snap ring on the shaft that passes through the bearing... Then the bearing comes out & the is a second snap ring below the bearing... After you remove the turn signal switch there are three screws that mount the upper housing to the column, if you remove those it helps in getting the bearing off the shaft..
Once you dig into it the problem should be apparent...
