Remove the horn pad. - screws on back side Remove the c-clip at the center of the wheel. Remove the large nut. Remove the steering wheel - A steering wheel puller is best, but if not available - locate your hands on the dash side of the steering wheel, palm side up (facing you). Bring your hands toward you, hitting the back of the wheel with constant firm hits (left palm, right palm, left palm...) You may want to wear gloves, but trust me this works (I repoed for many years) Once the wheel is off you will see a torque screw holding the ignition in place. Remove the screw and the ignition will pull right out (towards the passenger door). Just put the new one in, replace the torque screw and put everything back in reverse order. CAUTION: If the torque screw is left out the ignition will just pull out. CAUTION: If the c-clip is left off, the nut will back off and the steering wheel will fall off. This may sound complicated, but once you start, you will see it is very easy. Good Luck and make sure you put everything back.
