<VV> Early ignition switch cylinder replacement.

[George Jones]

Norm,

The only other way I am aware is to remove the outer ring. Without the key, you might try a nut splitter, if you have room to put the tool over the ring.

Now the problem;  How do I remove the useless cylinder when I have no key to get it into the lock position? I'm thinking I may have to resort to hammer and chisel tactics, which I hate to do to any Corvair.
