Steering column

What do I need to do to drop the steering column to access the ignition switch? I could figure it out but I don’t want to do 4 hours of unnecessary work to find out it could have been done an hour or so, I been there and done that, lol. This is for the truck in my sig.

The column is tilt steering but the tilt is wearing out as any weight applied to the column and it just collapses. Anything to fix this or does this usually require a column replacement eventually.

3 trim screws, 2 bolts and it falls in your lap. Replacing the switch isn't all that hard, it's just adjusting it which is a PITA.
