Ripping the column apart is dead easy - disconnect the battery (most
important), undo 2 screws at the back of the column, check you disconnected
the battery again (!), remove airbag cover, remove airbag connector, lift
out airbag carefully and the T wiring going to each of the 2 switches and
the clockspring is apparent. 15 min job to disassemble.

When you said it "worked sporadically" before, what were the symptoms ?
