    I don't have my Chilton's with me, but it seems like the key must be inserted in order to remove it. Then again, I may be making that up due to poor memory.

    The ignition switch is actually mounted on top of the steering column about halfway down. The cylinder where your key goes in is not a switch at all. Which part are you trying to remove?

    if you are talking about the key and tumbler, you will need the key. i think i had to pull the steering wheel to get to the pin...turn the key to on and push the pin in, the tumbler will slide out (key and all)...frank...:bouncy:
