Replaced the electrical portion of my ignition switch which has been giving warning signs for about 3 weeks. When I had difficulty removing the key I knew it was time to get the new switch out of the box and install.
How anybody can remove that switch from below the dash has got me beated, The two swich securing screws face upwards on R/H drive cars, so you can't see the screws or the screw heads.
In the end I removed the dash air vent and got to the screws from there. Another little maintenance job completed.......
