I need to remove the ignition switch from my 67 Barracuda. The nut has 4 internal slots evenly spaced around the inside circumference.
Where can I get one?
 
I've had luck with needle nose pliers. I've also had luck grabbing it with my hands and wiggling the switch on the back side with pressure on the nut on the front side. A few back and forth movements and it usually starts to back off.
 
All you need is a flat blade screwdriver. Place blade of screwdriver in one of the four slots and gently tap "Counterclockwise" till it is loose. Then reach underneath dash with one hand, holding switch and use other hand to unscrew the lock trim piece. No special tool needed.
 
Both of the above suggestions should work fine. I would wrap tape on the ends of whatever tool you're using to prevent scratches if it was mine...
