No, the cover over and under the steering column comes off separately. If I remember right, you just have to pry it a little bit OR there was a screw or two on the bottom (looking up from the floor) that held it in. Then it's just squeezed together with little tabs. The top half comes off and the bottom half comes off. Then you can access the stalks.

you need service and repair manual to solve the problem and you can get the manual from the given link http://toolsnyou.com/
