Electrical Ignition Switch Removal

[Super8mm]

I need to remove my ignition switch on my 80 CJ5 , does anyone know of a writeup on how to get to it.

Mine is very stiff it almost takes 2 hands to turn it now.

It's a GM steering column. This should be the same.

Thanks CJ, I will go get a puller and give it a go

I just thought of something. It could be a binding switch and not the lock cylinder. Try removing / loosening the electrical switch and then see if it (the key cylander) is still hard to turn.

Will do as it function OK but very hard to turn, It's probably had a lot of crud get in it in 42 years "LOL"
