Removal and installation is very easy.
The Haynes manual is a good resource for small jobs like this.
Start by removing the steering wheel. That will give you adequate space to remove the broken stalk. The steering wheel is held on by a 17mm (or 19mm?) retaining bolt. If you have SRS, you have to remove the air bag before you can remove your steering wheel.
Next, remove the two halves of your steering column cover. Take a look at the bottom cover. You'll see 7 channels, each leading to philips screws. There are 5 screws in plain sight, and the other two are towards the left and right sides. These screws have deeper channels because they hold both halves of the cover together.
Once the cover is removed, you'll have access to the two stalk combination switch units. They're also held on with philips screws.Last edited by Joshy; 01-23-2011, 02:04 PM.My pictures/photos will return soon...

pry out the little honda logo in the middle of your wheel, remove the nut that you see and youre done. make sure to put it back on straight though.

though its still not hard, but i really recommend a haynes manual for this sort of thing. the steering wheel seems intimidating but its really just a few screws, but you need to pull the airbag off first (also not scary). with the wheel pulled off, the stalk is like a joke (obvious) to replace

All you need is a little patience and some Torx bits.
First disconnect your battery. Then remove the lower rear cover on your steering wheel to access the red SRS anti-short plug. Disconnect your airbag (yellow connector) from the clock spring, and connect the anti-short plug to the airbag connector to ensure that your airbag won't accidentally deploy. Then remove the side cover on your steering wheel to access the Torx bits that are holding the airbag to the steering wheel. Unscrew them and pull the airbag out, then set it aside. You'll then see the steering wheel retainer bolt in plain sight.My pictures/photos will return soon...

I think the Torx you need is a T30. But yeah once the airbag is out, its pretty easy. You'll see the big locknut you need to remove in the middle, make sure you disable the bag using that clip at the bottom of the wheel just for safety. The rest of the things such as covers and brackets are held in place with phillips.

also once you remove the 19mm nut in the center to pull the steering wheel off, youll have to unplug a little connector within the center of the open wheel - the wiring for the cruise control / horn buttons.
