Ignition Switch Replacement? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey, I was just about to replace the ignition switch in my 71, just the switch, not the key and tumbler. I haven't done one on one of these trucks, what do I have to do? Do I have to just unscrew the switch from the tumbler, or do I have to pull everything out? Do you need a special tool for the crome bezel thingy on the tumbler?

there is a little hole on the front of the igntion switch that you stick a paper clip into in order to release the tumblers from the rest of the assembly, just insert the paper clip straight into the hole, insert key and turn it to the ACC position and pull out the key assembly
