why break anything??  you can just remove the plastic colum  cover w/ 2
screws, and drill a hole in the potmetal ignition housing on the side of the
ignition with a cordless drill, and press down on the metal tab with a
jewlers screwdriver the whole ignition comes out..  replace it with a spare,
and youre off!!!
hey, ken Wilford showed me this!!!   :<)
