I have replaced many a ignition switch on earlier models but never a 75 or 76. Found out today that it ain't like my 74 cars.
I have the wheel, turn sig. & wiper switches removed. Figured out how to get the mechanical switch out but do not know how in the heck to gain access and removal/replacement of the electrical part of the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 94teener, Phil |

I've done this and it's fairly simple. I think it's easier than on the earlier models.
Once you have the plastic surround piece off, You just need to remove all of the connections on the back of the turn signal/wiper switch and remove it by backing out the 4 long screws that hold it to the column. Then loosen the large allen bolt on the bottom of the metal piece which attaches to the column. Remove this piece and take the switch out from the backside by removing the small retaining screw that holds it in place. It should then drop right out. I hope this explaination helps. I can see it in my head, but it is somewhat difficult to articulate exactly. |

Once you have the wheel off, and pull the allen head bolt from underneath, at 7 o'clock on the left side, you should be able to slide the entire contraption off of the steering column and shaft. You don't need to undo the circlip that hold the bearing on the shaft.

If that doesn't cover what you need to know I'll take some pics tomorrow, just bump this.

Thanks a bunch to all of you for the advice.
Everything went well exchanging the ignition switch except that, I conldn't get the ts & wiper switches to fully reseat through the aperture (slot) near the base of the steering column. Still have to resolve that. In the mean time, the owner is driving arround with no ts nor wiper switches installed. Phil |
