My ignition switch has worn out and needs replacing. I can not figure out how to remove the existing switch. Can you give me the procedures to replace the ignition switch?

Thank you!

first look around the housing of the tumbler, do you see a little hole? if so turn the key to the on position insert a paper clip into the hole and push it up while pulling the cylinder out.

if not you will have to take off the steering wheel and remove the cylinder that way.
