Re: how the heck do i get my igniton out
first thing you do is disconnect the battery positive cable for poops and giggles then you take off the steering wheel. You then need to take out the snap ring that holds on the ignition lock plate or whatever you call that thing right under the steering wheel. There is a special tool that you screw on the column shaft and compress the spring under that plate but a piece of stock steel and a couple of bolts can make one quick..
Once that is removed remove the arm from the turn signal stalk and the hazzard pull out. Pry up carefully the turn signal gizmo and you should either see a torx head bolt or a cllip that you take out at the top of the ignition cylinder. once that is out what is left should pop out and the install is the reverse

Re: how the heck do i get my igniton out
