I'm trying to replace the electical portion of the ignition switch. I've got the steering wheel, lock nut, switchs, and ignition retaining plate off. I cannot however slide the ignition switch assembly out. Is there something else I am missing?
Do I have to remove the upper steering shaft? (first U-joint back) Thanks. Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monkeydance.gif) 74' 914/8 |

Okay, found the spring clip to remove the tumbler portion. Managed to remove from steering column.
Found the tiny flat blade screw and got the little electical part out. (Also managed to NOT lose the tiny little spring hiding inside) Problem, they sold me the wrong part. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The plastic housing on the one I got is the wrong shape, but has the correct connectors, mounting, etc... I guess it's back to the parts house tomorrow.
