your clicking is probably your lifters ticking. Do a search on this. Lifters will tick because of old age wear but probably more likely, you may have a small leak in the intake gaskets allowing antifreeze to wash away the oil off the lifters. Have you been losing any antifreeze lately?
for the plastic around your steering wheel, see my post in the how-to section. there are alot of good pictures of the plastic part ... its like a hinge.

This winter it developed a clicking sorta noise when you first start it up. It starts out quite loud and softens and goes away once the engine warms up. I thought warm weather had corrected it but it started doing it again but not all the time. I got the oil and filter changed and it still is making the noise. Any ideas on what this could be?
I am trying to change the turn signal switch on the steering column and am having trouble removing the plastic cover on the steerling wheel. I got the bottom panel off under dash and took out screws on under side of plastic on steering wheel. then jiggled the top and bottom piece from each other. I can't figure out how to get the bottom piece off - looks like I need to somehow turn it to get it over the tilt steering lever...... And the top piece seems loose except for the top right just before the ignition switch. Are there any tricks to removing this?
