YES you can.
not likely but good luck trying
you dont HAVE to remove it but it does make it easier. removing the column it not very difficult.
Yes, exact fit! Just change the ignition key cylinder to retain use of same keys
yes it should all be the same including wiring hookups from 82-92
To remove the ignition switch from the steering column of an '82 CJ7, first disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent any electrical issues. Then, remove the steering column cover by unscrewing the necessary screws. Locate the ignition switch, which is typically held in place by screws or clips; remove these fasteners and carefully pull the ignition switch out. Reinstall the new switch by reversing the steps, ensuring all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.
No. Call a wrecking yard. They have interchange books that will give you the exact years, but, off my head, I think 82, to 91?
On a 1981 MAZDA 626 (same engine)2.0 you remove the right/left cover on the steering column (three screws) and remove them. On the left side behind the key cylinder is the disc (round) ignition switch with several wires attached in a circular pattern around it. Wires and connectors (believe 4) go down the steering column from it (this is the ignition switch). The part # is Niehoff LC62411 on my 626. You remove this and install the new part in it's place. Problem is finding the part. Get one from a junkyard if nothing else. Also, the 82 Mazda truck is the same as an 82 Ford Courier (so maybe a Ford dealer has the part). Ford owns about 30% of Mazda and a Ford VP runs it.
Have you checked the glove box?
I doubt very much that the knob will come off of the automatic column shifter.
it will fit with some fabrication. the body mounts are all different.
Yes they will fit. Note: steering arms on S10 spindles is shorter, this will quicken your steering.
This is a safety feature.
