Now the drawings I see show the steering wheel removed, and along the way there is some command to do so. I cannot see why that is necessary just to R&R this switch. However, I also see that there is info to R&R the ignition keyset, which requires aligning the gear on the ignition switch, the keyset, etc. I can understand that, but if I only want to R&R the elect. switch from the connections, and the keyset and column are not moved, why would it (or would it) be necessary to mess with the keyset at all? Shouldn't that ignition switch just pull down and out, then reverse to reinstall?
