How do you remove the ignition switch on a 1986 Oldsmobile?

Answer 1

Remove the horn pad on your steering wheel by removing the 3 nuts on the back of the steering wheel, now with the keys out and the steering wheel locked, loosen and remove the nut in the middle of your steering wheel, now u need a steering wheel remover/puller your local autozone should have one for rent/ buy. now in the middle of your steering there should be to holes across from each other now find the 2 bolts that screw into those holes. now once you have done this attach the bolt threw the puller. now in the middle of the puller there should be a large and long bolt with everything in place turn the bolt in the middle and as u turn it the steering wheel will come off. now there might be a piece plastic gently pull that off, now you should be looking at the steering wheel lock place now put your key in and turn it to the on position now you need a steering wheel lock plate remover (or really strong hands and a flat head screw driver.) now at the center of the lock plate ( between the steering wheel shaft and the lock plate theres a ring clip, to remove that you have to push the lock plate back enough to access the clip now once that clips out the plate slides rite off. and now your looking at the blinker before you try to remove that you have to unscrew the hazard lights switch then remove the screw the attaches the turn signal handle from the turn signal assembly, now there are 3 torx screws remove those screws and move the signal assembly off out of the way now you should see the lock cylinder, on the lock cylinder theres a smaller torx screw remove that screw turn the key and the lock should slide rite out. then follow theres directions backwards order and u should be good to go
