My ~30 yr old ignition lock is acting up (the LOCK, not the switch). Gotta get the lock cylinder out of the pot metal housing, but the Pelican Tech Article appears to cover an earlier model; the two screws shown in that article do not exist on my assembly, which is out of a '76.

Any clues on how to (nondestructively) remove the lock cylinder from the housing???

do a search on the pelican site under my name - I went through the same thing as you. But basically, the steering column needs to be removed, the plastic case slid off. then you can access it from the rear.

Already been there. I have the pot metal assembly containing the switch, steering wheel lock, and lock cylinder out of the car. I've also removed the switch from the assembly.

How do I get the lock cylinder out of the pot metal assembly. In other words, how do I replace the lock cylinder???

I don't know that I can explane it but there is a little hole that you stick the end of a paper clip or tiny nail in and it will release the key cylinder....If you can't figure it out let me know, mine is still out and I can take a picture...

This is the hole. push something small in the hole and it will pull out. The switch on the right is the one you will have. Why are you pulling it out? do you have a new replacement?

Thanks guys, but the picture shows a pre- 1975 assembly. '75's and '76's use a completely different assembly - some damn Volkswagen engineer obviously had a "better" idea, otherwise known as part number 113-905-851-A.

wiggle the ignition lock cylinder out of it. FWIW, this is the tab of spring metal that you moved out of the way with the screw driver in the last step. If the ignition switch is in the ON position, it won't come out. I always do it with the key in the switch. Forgot why now but I did it anyway tonight.
