CAUTION: Some models are equipped with anti-theft-radio make sure you have the activation code before disconnecting battery * Disconnect the negative battery cable * Remove the steering column covers and the lower instrument panel cover * To remove the electrical portions of the ignition switch follow the harness back and disconnect the electrical connector then remove the screw and detach the switch from the lock cylinder housing and lower the steering column * The switch/lock cylinder housing is clamped to the steering column by shearhead bolts.Use a chisel and a hammer to tap the bolts in a counterclockwise direction to unscrew them * Remove the lock cylinder/ignition switch assembly from the steering column * Mount the new lock cylinder assembly on the steering column and install new shearhead bolts.Tighten the shear head bolts securley but dont break the heads off at this time * Insert the key and check the lock cylinder and steering column lock for proper operation.When you're satisfied the lock cylinder and steering column lock is operating properly tighten the shearhead bolts until the heads break off. * The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal
