I do what mr48 does but snap a pic of the plug, or draw a diagram of what wire goes where first, then check the colors against the new part if replacement is the plan. then remove the plug and pull the wires up through the column with the mechanics wire. the mechanics wire pulls the new part back through the column like mr48 describes. assemble the plug on the end when done. it's easy to get the individual wires out of the plug, just look for the barb on the wire terminals where they sit in the plastic, push the barb down to release the wire from the terminal and gently pull the wire out of the block.
