Question replacing turn signal switch

1980 F-100. I cannot remove the original turn signal switch because the wires holding it are too short to allow it to get over the top of the steering wheel shaft. Do I have to cut the wires?

No, but you need to disconnect it down below the dash.

It sounds like he removed the steering wheel and is wanting to unscrew and lift the switch up and over the splined shaft but he didn't disconnect the wiring down under the dash.
