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 |

I am having a similar problem to the issues described in this thread. I need to replace the ignition switch (electrical part) on my '75. I have the wheel and the switch assembly off, and I discovered how to remove the key/tumbler part, but I cannot for the life of me see how to get to the electrical part and the small set screw being mentioned. It is covered by the black plastic shroud which I cannot see how to remove. What am I missing?
