Hi everyone, long time listener first time caller, I currently stripping down my first GMC truck, a 67 fleet side and I'm running into troubles removing the ignition key cylinder...any release to allow separation from the bezel?

Re: Ignition Cylinder Removal

get a paper clip or bobby pin and straighten it out, and theres like a small 1/8 inch slit in the face of the cylinder that you need to shove it in. then turn the key to the left and it pops out.
