lot of steps, 4 speed or T bar (different if 3 on tree or column auto)
take off steering wheel
remove indicator stalk
undo screws for indicator unit
unplug wire form at connector under dash
take out screw and remove form clip
take indicator unit out, need to slide form up through steering column
remove screws for top section of column with key and lock
slide this up and off
now you are at the lower section
remove the 2 screws at base of the shroud and slide up and off
if I missed something my apologies but this from memory

replace in reverse order.
have a good time

Also undo steering column to dash support bracket, lower column, unplug wiring from ignition switch, undo bolts and remove ignition switch from column and disengage switch from actuator rod. Remove circlip and spring from top end of steering shaft. Then you can remove the coffee pot.
