Steering column collar swap

Good thread, BUT..........STILL, the main question hasn't really been addressed, at least not with any detail........

I'm in the same predicament.........I don't want to monkey with swapping the column out............and I HATE the thought of having to grind & shape inside the car at this point.........

So, If we locate a column with the needed bells, how difficult is it to swap out the BELLS instead of the whole column???

In my case, this would be the best scenario, IF it's a bolt-out / bolt-in procedure.............I've never tried to remove the bells for any reason, so I have NO IDEA what I'd be up against...........

Can anyone chime in who has done the job? Pics would be great if it's a bummer..............:-D
