ignition switch

How hard is it to replace the ignition switch in on the truck. This is going to be my first experiment into doing this. It has been waiting to break for a while now, I know it is only 8 bucks for the switch and I really don't want to have to pay to have it done. Any advise guys?

do you want to replace the ignition switch, or the key cylinder? there is a big difference between them. also, what year is the truck? it makes a difference on the year
