How do you replace the ignition key switch in a 1987 Jeep Wrangler?

You need to remove the steering wheel, which means you may need a steering wheel/gear puller if the wheel is still pressed on. Behind that is the steering wheel lock system. there is a small ring around the base, you need to push the serrated locking plate in (toward engine) to expose the ring. This is a 2 person job. One to push the other to remove the clip/ring. Once all of that is removed you need to remove the turn signal switch, this can be done by removing the screws, you may not need to remove it completely. Just move the switch aside. Now behind all that is a set screw holding in the ignition. Remove that screw and the tumbler and all slide out. Now reinstall everything by working backwards. Replacing the pieces is much easier.
