Instructions--I think

1: Remove the dash cover. If you don't know there are 2 small bolts that hold it on. One is behind the mirror switch so you have to remove it. The other is behind the coin holder (92-94) and then some clips.

2: Remove the cover plate under the dash cover.

3: Unscrew plastic shields that surround the steering column and ignition switch. You will only be able to remove 2 of them until after the next step.

4: Remove the 2 nuts (12mm) that hold the steering column to the dash. This will give you a little room and then you can remove the other plastic cover.

At this point you can actually get to the "pin" that holds the key cylinder in place. I would recommend using the short "L" end of a small Allen wrench to depress the brass pin to pull the cylinder out. Depress it with the key inserted in the cylinder and rotate until you feel the position that it will pull out. I will check again to see if I can determine the exact position.

Hope this is not too confusing.
