Trust me buy from the dealer,this is one part you really want to bend over and take it for.The biggest reason is to make sure you are getting a working part(and the release of liability if it doesn't work) and the part from the dealer is pre-centered which is extremely important when installing.DO NOT GET A USED ONE,it will not be centered and held in the centered position by the special clip.

You will need a special tool to remove/install the snap ring,they are available most places.

Pic below shows a steering wheel puller kit and the large "U" shaped piece is for the removeal of the clock spring.

A new clock spring will have a plastic tap that is holding it in the centered position,do not remove untill you installed the clock spring.Also make sure your wheels are pointed perfectly straight before removing the clock spring.
