the ignition switch has fianlly given up the ghost. i have the spare one, but can't work out how to replace it. i know there is a grub screw in the barrel, but i can't find it? any ideas?

i have the wheel off, the stalks out what do i do next?


thanks

hi Bix, now i think from memory the is a grub screw that holds it in, or it may b just a small screw. without going to have a look myself, it is tricky to work out, but keep looking.
will get back to u if ur still having trouble

Here is an exploded view of the steering...

I have sent other diagrams to Your email address.

Here is the 1971 switch..
this is NOT the same as the 1958...
that should be 1968 > 1971

ok after reading this last night i found a small hole on in the barrel, its between the barrel and the colum, i tried pressing this down and turing the key and pulling but i won't go.

I have also removes the cap screw, and taken the circlip out of the colum, but there is a white platic cap holding teh bearings and i assume the whole thing on to the colum?

put the circlip back on you don't need to remove that,the plastic sleave just pops off ,then the housing.

Good One JakJones...

I'm glad someone knew what to do....

Bix, all the diagrams I sent, I reduced the resolution and they are the same ones posted here....
Very confusing in the Haynes manuals...
