Ignition removal help

I need to replace my ignition switch my first question is how do I remove it,I don't have the key but can turn it on with a screwdriver(I keep my title in the glove box beacause I can imagine what will happen if a police cruiser rolls up on me jaming a screwdriver in the ignition )next is do I have to worry about putting the steering wheel on"crooked"or does it go on only one way(idiot proof).



I've never done this before.Thanks

Yes, it is possible to put the wheel on crooked. Just mark the base of the wheel / top of the column before you pull the wheel, and don't rotate the shaft after that

Keep an eye on where everything came, its not a difficult task, but there are a lot of little parts and peices that you can loose, or not put back in correctly Rebuilding my steering column was the very first thing I did on my GMC

I used this when I replaced my tumbler, turn signal switch, and lever. It is newer than yours, but it might be helpful.
