My blinker lever, or I should say the part it connects to in the column...is broken. I am trying to get to that part inside the column, and can't seem to figure out how to get the metal plate off that you see in the following picture. I have tried lightly prying it up..but it does not want to budge, and I don't want to break it. How in the world do you remove it?

Also, my column is non-tilit, automotic. Is the part I need called the turn signal cancelling switch, or what? Anyone have a spare? LoL!
