Ford Repair: 66 mustang ignition removal, cylinder press, lock cylinder

Question
My son and I are re-doing a 66 Mustang Convertible.  I would like to know how to remove the ignition.  Thanks.

Answer
Mr. Karczewski,

To remove the ignition you will need to dosconnect the battery ground cable then insert the ignition key into the switch and turn to the ACC position. Insert a piece of wire into the  hole of the lock cylinder. Push the wire inward to depress the lock pin then turn the key counterclockwise and withdraw the lock cylinder. Press the rear of the switch and rotate it counterclockwise, remove the bezel, switch and spacer. Disconnect the wiring and plug from the rear of the switch. Installation is the reverse of removal. Hope that this helps and if you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me again. Good luck.
