steering bearing

how do you remove the top bearing of a steering column.i have the wheel off and have un-screwed the 3 bolts on the turn signal plastic thing,but it wont come off i dont want to break the hazard button,so i figured someone will know.also is the bearing a specialty bearing or can i buy it at any bearing shop?
