By ignition I assume you are referring to the key cylinder in the column.First you must remove the horn button to get to the steering wheel nut.Remove the clip,and nut.Then use a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel.Nex remove the plastic cover.Now using a lock plate tool(available at autozone,etc($15)remove the lock plate retaining ring.Remove the plate and horn plate.Next remove the screw for the trun signal arm,and the cam.Now remove the 3 screws for the turn signal assembly.Lift this up and over(as wires limit the range you can move it up)Now remove the key buzzer,under it you will either find a Phillips screw,or t25 screw.Remove this screw,and pull out the key cylinder.Installation is the reverse.
