     You remove the steering wheel, and all of those turn signal/ wiper 
     switches.  Then the aluminum housing has few bolts in it.  It then 
     slides off.
     
     To get the lock cylinder, you have to drill a 3mm hole somewhere in 
     the aluminum housing.  You then stick a pin or something in the hole 
     to release a hidden spring clip.  Bentley manuals don't always tell 
     you where that is.  Try a Haynes.  You have to have the manual, 
     because it gives you the exact location to drill this hole.
     
     If you just want to replace the ignition switch, I don't think you 
     have to pull the lock cylinder.  I THINK it comes out from behind.  
     
     It's been a few years since I did that.  Anyone else know?
     
     Chris

Is there anyone out there right now who knows about removing the 
ignition switch module or knows how to get to the steel housing around 
the ignition switch?
                        TIA, Allan
