Hope this helps, Bob All you need to remove is [in this order]; 1. ignition key from switch; 2. horn button from steering wheel; 3. 17mm nut that holds down steering wheel; 4. steering wheel; 5. lower steering wheel collum cover [two screws]; 6. three screws in top of collum that hold down and align turn indicator switch assembly/high-low beam assembly and the windshield wiper switch assembly; 7. disconnect the three different wire harness connectors from the bottom of the ignition-starter switch and the above mentioned switch assemblies; 8. upper steering wheel collum cover and switch assemblies; 9. 6mm hex bolt that holds ignition switch housing to collum; 10. place ignition key in switch and turn on to "run" position; 11. using small ballpeen hammer or 1/2" drive socket extention, tap on bottom of housing till it comes all the way off; 12. turn housing over and using a Reed+Prince type Phillips screw driver, remove screw that holds the ignition switch to ignition switch housing; 13. assemble in reverse order; NOTE: A. pay attention to the plastic sleave bushing's orientation that came of collum shaft when housing was removed; B. pay particular attention to assemly of turn indicator switch together with high-low beam switch as you place it on collum assembly; C. good luck! 1.9L 85 westfalia,nothing at all in the bently that i could find...used instructions from ken's site (vanagain.com)and it is good up to the point that i just pull the housing off the steering column, at which point it will not just come off. im just trying to replace the ignition switch. anybody have this problem before? any ideas welcome.. ===== Scott Wilson 85 GL Westfalia __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
