Hello World -

I'm trying to R&R the ignition switch. And, I need a little help.

I've got the ignition lock tumbler out but cannot seem to get the holder out in order to get at the ignition switch below it. Here's a look at where I'm at.

1973 model year
Knee pad is off
Allen bolt is out

I also have a replacement steering column switch to put in and plan to rekey some lock cylinders while this is all apart.
Is there anything else that need to get done at this time?

Thank you,

Sean

Put the lock back in. Turn ignition on to release the column locking. Should be clear and pull the whole assembly out in one piece. Replace electrical portion before replacing switch.

Side note your switch is 75-76 because of the black plastic cap and the roller cam entry.
