Here are the instructions how to replace the ignition switch and lock tumbler with key. you will need a sharp chisel to help "walk" the old bolts around to loosen them because they use two anti theft bolts at the top of the switch/lock which can be a little tough so position the chisel to one side and tap to remove the bolts. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
