Replacing '98 cruise control switch

Anyone know how to replace the cruise control switch from a ’98 explorer XLT? I assume that I have to remove the steering wheel; how do I do this? Is this something that I should have a mechanic do because of the airbag? It seems like it should be fairly easy to replace. The part is just a little switch to screw in and connect the wire to.



It’s the right switch (the one with the coast; accelerate; resume buttons). The plastic stems holding it to the steering wheel just broke off so now it’s just hanging from the wire. It still works.

<O></O>

How should I do this?
