Taking off ignition on steering column
I just bought a key set to switch mine out.
Anyone know how to take off the ignition on the steering column? |

there are two bolts on the bottom side that you need to drill 2 small holes into and turn with some needle nose pliers. i have gotten them off before by hammering them with a small chisel until you get a groove deep enough to spin them out with a flat head, but drilling and using pliers is way easier

if you dgaf about it
unbolt your plastic column trim. get a large pipe and stick it over the ignition cylinder. torque the fuck out of it until it breaks off. if you gaf about it drill a hole directly in the center of both bolts securing the cylinder to the column. use a bolt extractor and remove them. if you gaf about it but dont have money for a bolt extractor drill a hole directly in the center of both bolts securing the cylinder to the column. use a larger bit to drill the head off of the threads.

A couple of taps with a hammer and chisel will loosen it enough to be turned by hand.
They're not on all that tight. Really easy method would be drilling a rather small hole in the middle, then using a reverse drill bit. |
