The flasher is located behind the instrument cluster. Is that what you want to remove? If so remove the steering wheel and cluster. Don't start the car with the cluster removed. The oil gauge line will make a mess.

Removing the steering wheel is the easy part. Just mark the shaft and wheel so you can re-align it again. I don't see how removing the cluster is going to help. Slide underneath and follow the steering post under thee dash. There are two connectors there. One is a multi-pin connector that goes to your turn signals and wind shield wipers and high and low beams. You can disconnect that to get it out of the way. Above that should be the flasher unit. It should be a three prong that you can pull out. Replacing it is a simple procedure. Good luck.
