I have been trying my best to remove my ignition switch but just cant get the thing out. I have a 63 unibody. The switch is spring loaded from the back and you are supposed to be able to turn the key to the ACC position and mine wont budge. Then take a paper clip and put into tiny hole beneath key and turn out cylinder.
The way it looks I may have to try drilling it out. I am not able to buy a new switch so I have got to figure the cheapest way to do this.
I heard you can get it out without taking the cylinder out but even with the bezel pushed out away from the dash so the tabs dont catch, I cant get it to turn.
Thanks everyone!
In need of a tip!

Thanks
I appreciate the help guys. I am trying to remove it so I can paint. I am just too picky probably. Ha! But, good news is I drilled the cylinder out without harming the switch so all I will have to buy is the cylinder and keys.
