I'm thinking you should be able to loosen the ignition lock assembly where it attaches to the steering column and then slide it down the column a little bit. Oh yeah, you'll have to drill the pinch bolt out as it will be a snap-head bolt if it has never been loosened before. You shouldn't have to move it very far in order to get the dimmer switch out. You may have to turn the key on in order to retract the column lock pin before it will slide down the column. If that's the case, then disconnecting the battery would be advised.

Are you doing an LED conversion or are you just replacing a faulty dimmer with an original one?
