the problem is that the key is used (when inserted) to dis-engage the steering lock. If the lock is engaged you have a problem. The barrel itself is located/locked in the tube with a small locating bolt.To get at this ,however you need to remove the lower dash first and then the top housing.You will then be able to see the bolt head (6mm I think).On the underside of the barrel tube there is a spring loaded locator bar which must be pushed in and at the same time the barrel eased out (use a srewdriver).The wires from the switch go out to 2 connectors 1 brown (4 way) and one white (6 way)
the wiring must be freed from the loom and these plugs disconnected , they can then be fed back through the side of the steering barrel tube. Hope this helps Dave

RafaIts different on different cars, but if its a older chevy once the wheel,lock plate and turn signal switch is removed you can use a small screw driver or punch to manually release it. You can figure out the location by looking at your new tumbler... sometimes the alum casting fills the hole you need to use, but its easily pushed through

hey.. the only way to check a coil of any kind is with an ohm meter,,,if it's bad it will show nothing or infinity... if it is good it should have at least 8 dependant upon the resistance but could be higher... i can't remember if too high means corosion or not but i know you can get the numbers from the manufacturer
How do you get an ignition out of a 99' Chevy 1500 without a key does it have to be drilled out?
If you take the vin number and proof of ownership you can go to a Chevrolet dealer and they can cut you a new key. I kinda think the OP is asking how to remove the Ignition Switch. You need the key to remove the switch without drilling and making a mess of the housing.
