Before you go down the rabbit hole of replacing your turn signal/high beam stalk you should be certain that the stalk is the problem. But if it is the stalk, it will be a bit of a job to change it. Does your car have cruise control or the on board computer? The mechanism that holds the stalks is all one unit that can only be removed by disconnecting the battery, deactivating the airbag and removing the steering wheel. The only stalk that is removable from this unit is the one for the on board computer. So to replace the turn signal/high beam stalk you need to remove the steering wheel. If you have cruise control, you need to buy a 3 stalk unit. If you have on OBC, you can remove the OBC stalk from your current unit and add it to the unit you buy. If you don't have cruise control and want to add it, you can do that at this time by buying a 3 stalk unit. Pelican Parts has How To articles on adding cruise control and the OBC which show how to remove the steering wheel and replace the stalk unit.
