Ignition removal?

OK, I'm in process of doing my first frame off on my 72 Blazer, I've got 99.9% of the stuff off bagged and tagged. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the ignition switch out! I've spun it and even thought about prying it off. Is there an easy way or a tool to make this happen????


Thanks

Ed

Take a paper clip stick it in small hole and turn as he said. Its my understanding you can't get the cylinder out without the key

Yep, need the key.

If you don't have a key, what good is the ignition cylinder...?
Cut it off.
