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

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

According to my service manual to remove:

- Disconnect the battery ground cable and air bag backup power supply
- remove two trim shroud halves by removing retaining screws
- disconnect ignition switch electrical connector
- turn iggnition key lock cylinder to the RUN position
- disengage the ignition switch from the actuator pin.

To install:

- adjust the ignition switch by sliding carrier to the RUN postion.
- Make sure lock cylinder is in Run postion.
- Install ignition swithc onto the actuator pin.
- Install the two retaining screws
- connect elctrical connection to ignition switch
- connect battery ground
- install trim shrouds
- connect air bag battery backup
