how to change ingnition switch

whats the easist way to change an ing switch in a 03 alero 2.2(in dash type)

Does the key fit and turn in cylinder?

yup

Pull radio,remove ignition bezel with small screwdriver.
Put key in ignition turn to on position and through radio access use a small screwdriver or drill bit to depress pin in cylinder and use key in aid to pull cylinder out.

does the radio need ''keys'' like a ford does???i havent had achance to look at it yet ive been to frickin busy i just wanna know if i will run into any problems when i do get a chance to work on it...thanks

nope

But relearn procedure must be done.
1- ign on,engine off
2- attempt to start engine then release key to on position
3- observe security light,should be on,after 10 min light will go off
4- turn ignition off wait 5 secs
5- vechicle now redy to learn passcode
6- try to start if it starts,clear codes,if not redo 1-6

Might check this link out(its for the grand am , exaclty the same part and procedure) it's a little more involved then whats described above.
