How hard are these to replace?

http://secure.50resto.com/product1.cfm?SID=1&Product_ID=1211&Category_ID=762

The black thing in that picture that the key goes in has been busted off on mine forever, the lock function normally but when I get pulled over the cops always ask me if I hotwired the car [Roll Eyes]

I don't see any obvious bolts that would let me remove it, any help?
