For additional info do a search on "ignition" and "tumbler."
There are two holes in the face of the ignition lock. You may have to remove some of the dash faceing to enable the steel cylinder (surrounding the tumbler) to come out.
1] Insert your key and turn it to about 2 o'clock, the Accessory position.
2] Push the tool into the two holes about 1-1/2" into the lock assembly to disengage the paws.
3] Once it disengages the paws within the tumbler, pull on the key and the ignition lock assembly and steel surround will come out.
*Removal of the tumbler assembly won't cut power to the accessories. So you can listen to the radio or tape while doint the R&R.
The "tool" is made from a metal coat hanger bent to form a "U."
1] The tool should be about 100 mm (4”) long.
2] The distance between the shafts [you insert in the holes] is 20mm.
3] A thick coat hanger wire of 2mm works well.
4] The shafts will go 40mm (1-1/2") into the lock assembly to disengage the paws.
5] File the ends to a 45 to 70 degree angle with short side on inside of "U." (You're pushing paws towardinside of tumbler.)
