+1 for Spinnkers method. I've done two ignition switches and really struggled on the first one until I removed the drivers side air vent.

One other issue is that even when I got my screw driver on the scews, I could not generate any torque to turn the darn thing due to sweaty hands (Florida humidity) and no room to work.

I ended up taking my jewlers flat blade screw driver and added some JB weld to the handle to create some wings, which allowed me to turn the screws.

One other thing, if you go the vent removal route....when you go to reassemble, it is a little tough to get the screw started for the vent tube (section directly behind the vent). Add a little dab of grease the end of your screwdriver and the screw will stay put while you reach in and get it started.
