Hi,
Yep, the Mercedes ignition switches can be difficult to replace, the steering column must be removed first while using a special tool to remove the switch bezel, start with the battery disconnected, I found these diagrams, (this is going to be a job) hope they can help, let me know how it goes :-)
Best, Ken
