How do you replace the turn signal lever on a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu?

Oh, dude, replacing the turn signal lever on a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu is like a walk in the park... if that park is full of confusing wires and tiny screws. You basically gotta remove the steering column cover, locate the lever assembly, disconnect it, swap it out with a new one, and then put everything back together. It's like a puzzle, but with more grease and frustration.
