You need to pull the whole ignition housing, remove the plastic cover and drill a hole in just the right spot to depress the spring that holds in the ignition switch. I have one at the shop that has been drilled and can get you a picture tomorrow give me a call tomorrow to remind me. What are you trying to fix? Or were you just bored and wanted to take things apart.
If I was just bored, there's plenty of more important tasks I could be doing.
What prompted this? ... I was having an intermittent starting issue, a wobbly steering wheel, and only one speed on the windshield wipers, so decided today was the day to check it all out.
I checked the (4) 6mm Allen bolts in the column support bracket under the dash, but they were all tight. Found out the 6mm Allen bolt going through the bottom of the plastic housing was loose - tightening it up took a
lot of the wobble out, but not completely.
Of course, the ignition switch seemed to work fine every time I started it up today
... so I may not need to replace the switch after all
... but being 40 years old, I'd feel better with a new one in there if possible.
The large bearing circlip has already been removed, as well as the 6mm Allen bolt on the bottom. I know the small circlip that's still on the shaft will eventually need to be removed as well, but the housing is currently only moving about 1/4" (max)
