Do you have to pull the steering wheel to replace an ignition switch not the lock cylinder but the ignition switch in a 91 Buick LeSabre or can you drop the column

What is your question?

I know for sure I have a bad ignition switch did all the testing and there is no doubt that that is the problem someone told me that I can remove the lower part of the dash and drop the column and have access to the switch which should be in the top of the column but everywhere I search on the internet says you have to pull the steering wheel so I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure I appreciate it thank you

How long has your 1991 Buick LeSabre had this problem?

Few months
