There is two small holes in the chrome cylinder where the key goes in. Take a fine pick preferably a mechanics pick and it's nice if you have a key but you really don't need one. Push the pick in the lowest hole to release the spring, with the key turn left and pull out. Without the key old school a screw driver without damaging the outer casing and twist the same way as with the key. The casings are cast and they can easily be damaged. Easiest way to just buy a new casing with ignition from east coast Chevy $36 and a lock for $23 then its all new. You can buy the whole set for $76 doors, trunk, ignition, and glove box. Hope this helps Lyle Davidson
