"And Bruce Patterson makes another interesting point:
What I've found out since there was only 4100 76's made they're a little different than the rest. To retract the metal steering surround that holds the ignition switch (there is no screws holding it) you insert the key like you are going to remove the tumbler,turning the key unlocks the tab thats holding it on the steering shaft,letting you pull the whole piece off, exposing the switch and the set screw for easy removal and replacement.If you dont turn the key there's no way that assembly will come off the shaft.You may want to include this info on to the tech article. Thanks Bruce Patterson"

Ok,
Insert before removing allen head fastner ....
"Disconnect negative cable from battery"
Insert after removing allen head fastner ....
"Insert key and turn tumbler to "On" "
And he should have called it a "locking pawl", not a tab
Tech article now complete
The surround is plastic (one piece) and will slide off to the rear of the assembly if you want to expose the guts ....
