I am changing out my ignition switch on my 76 CJ7 and am having problems getting the old one out. I have pulled the steering wheel, the lockplate, and removed the screws but the switch will not come out HELP!!!!!!!!!!
There is a lug on the tumbler assembly that needs to retract or compressed before the tumbler could be pulled out.. try using a small screwdriver to turn the tumbler while wiggling , this might work if most of the key is in the tumbler.
