Yes Denis the steering wheel has to be removed there is a plate with 4 short screws then 4 long screws holding both halves of the shroud together, the Ign switch I cant say but if you can get a better look at the terminals it may be ok? they were used in several vehicles!

There are some small Allen grub screws on the center boss these release the horn ring then you will see the large nut with the horn push contact remove the spring/clip/washer. then the nut (disconect the battery it could annoy the neighbors) and the wheel just pulls off the splines

If it's a steering column mounted switch shouldn't it be the anti-theft set up? There might be a bit of rewiring to do...

I believe you don't need to remove the spring/clip/washer. The large nut from the steering wheel can pass without dismantling
