There is a small hole under the steering wheel cover/ignition switch (below the steering wheel). Push a piece of wire about 1/8 inch diameter through the hole. This releases the hold pin for the switch. Put the key lock in the neutral position and push the pin and remove the ignition lock set. You can get a new switch from Kragen for about $20. Put the new lock set in the neutral position and insert it. Turn it to the off position which resets the lock pin.
Hope this helps.
