[V8] Fw: V8 starter R&R

[Ron Wainwright]

Well sorta..the igy switch is held into the back of
the lock cylinder via 2 small flate blade screws..set
screws I think there called.
 You'll have to take the dash pad out...easy
enough....
Then you will see two acsess holes were the center
wood trim is..just above were the cylinder is. Usually
there is some kinda Blue/Red sealant ontop of the set
screws. Just use a very small...sharp flate blade
screwdriver to break the sealant. Once that is done
you can remove the two screws. At this time remove the
knee pannel under the steering wheel & you'll be able
to pull the switch out along with the electrical
connector.
 Maybe a good idea to pull the neg battery cable from
the bat...just as a preventative measure. But not
nesissary. & you will still be able to use your
original key.
