Ignition Lock (Replacing)

Support the end of the shaft with a 2x4 cut to length to the floor. Remove the retaining ring and tap out the roll pin with a punch. Harbor Freight has a nice little pouch of several sizes of punches I have used for years. It takes a little bit of effort to first get it moving but then it will move easier.

To put it back in I used a large channel locks with the jaws taped up well with tape. If you put a very slight taper with a grinder on the end of the pin going in first it will start easier. Start with the jaws wide and then adjust them down as the pin moves back in.
