: Coil Broke within Steering Column

I forgot to lock my wheel when I put a new intermediate steering shaft in, and I lost my steering wheel controls. When i backed out of the garage something broke sounded similar to when you hold blinker and turn. Went to dealership and they said it was a coil within the steering column. Anyone know how hard it is to tackle this job? I am mainly concerned about lining everything back up along with the airbag.

Thanks

It's called a "clockspring". http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=181766&highlight=clockspring
