In trying to replace my starter switch, I have run into a snag. Pelican tells me there should be two screws holding the key mechanism in. In my 76, there is no such screws...
How do I get this mechanism out without destroying it? Attached image(s)

Just did this last week on a '75.
Remove the circlip on the left end of the shaft (circled in red). Pull the hex-head bolt holding the switch assembly to the column underneath (red arrow). You don't need to remove the circlip that hold the bearing to the switch assembly. The switch assembly will come off the shaft with medium effort. A small phillips screw holds in the switch assebly. PS I hope you got a factory Porsche switch. It is well worth the $35. The $12 aftermarket part available from everywhere else wears out quickly and/or doesn't work reliably. I hate asking strangers for a push start. Attached image(s)
