Hi Angela53;
O.K. Great, I do not blame you for not wanting to pay someone to do something you can do yourself.
You need to have a Torx (T-30 or T-20) possibly a T-25 and a small Phillips head screwdriver.
If you have a Junk or Salvage yard near you and they allow you to remove the part yourself, you can save even more. Another thing is that you can practice on the vehicle you are removing the part from and then you will be a pro at removing and installing these.
Once springs and stuff start falling out, the
multi-function switch is really a little beyond repair ...
Here are the step by step instructions with sketches.
(It is really not that bad).... Here we go.

Remove the upper and lower steering column shrouds. - (You will need a small phillips head screwdriver).
Remove the three screws (1)

Finally, removing the Multi - Function Switch
Remove the two screws (1)
Disconnect the two electrical connectors. (2)
Remove the multi-function switch (3)
To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Just snug that's all.
