That's the connector at the end of the wires. How's that get back up the tight steering column the wires are snaked down? It doesent. You have to cut it off, no way around it. How does the new one go down the hole? It doesn't. You pull the wires out of it and snake only them down the column. Doing this is much easier than you think. Save the old connector!!!! And leave some meat on the wire. You'll need to put the new wires back in, in the same order.

Once the connector is cut, pull the wires at the top and pull the whole 9 yards out.
