I've done this twice in the past year. Remove the two screws under the steering column that hold the cover in place. Then you will see two nuts with washers, one on either side of the column, that hold the column to the dash frame. Remove those two nuts and washers, and you can lower the steering wheel and column to rest on the drivers side seat cushion. Then with a ratchet and I think a 5/16-inch socket and a couple of "wobble end" extensions on the ratchet, one long and the other short, you can contort your body into position to reach the two hex-head self threading screws that hold the ignition switch to the column. Once they are out, you can re-contort your body so that you can disconnect the two electrical plugs that connect to the right side of the switch. (When you first look at the plugs and the wires, it looks as though it is all one plug, but it's two.) Good luck!

How do you remove the ignition key switch on a 1998 Chevrolet truck?

Removing the ignition key switch from a 1998 Chevrolet truck is a relatively straightforward process. Before beginning it is important to make sure that the truck is off and the battery has been disconnected. To begin you will need to remove the steering wheel by first removing the center wheel nut with a 12" socket and wrench. You should then use a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel. Once the wheel is removed the ignition key switch will be visible in the center of the steering wheel. To remove the ignition key switch you will need to remove the retaining clip and then unscrew the bolts securing the switch in place. After the bolts have been removed the switch can be removed and replaced with the new one.

If it is an in dash ignition switch, you just unscrew the ring on the front of the dash and pull it through the back, unhook wire harness and there you have it. there is a little brass colored button on the side that you push in with a small punch and the cylinder will slide right out, then slip in another for around $9 2 keys included.
