Got some major problems...
I know I am going to catch hell from people for the question I'm about to ask but maybe some the old school guys will remember me and still answer.
I finally got the car painted and almost the way I wanted it and someone decided to try and steal it (bastards). The only damage done is to the door handle and iginition switch.
I can fix the door handle, but I cannot figure out how to remove the ignition switch module from my parts car with out destroying it. The old one in my car was totally destroyed so I just cut it off. Upon removal I noticed it has a slot in the shaft with a raised section and a lock pin to lock the steering. I cannot afford a new kit and really need to figure out how to remove the old one without damaging it.
The assembly is aluminum with a metal clamp on the rear and is rivited on with some ungodly rivets (about 1/2" in diameter and wore down the tips on two drill bits).
thanks for the help
If you dont want to post this info in the forum please pm me

I beleive that you need to use a chisel to cut a slot in the bolt, then you can turn it with a screwdriver.

A chisel works fine and is a lot quicker if you're careful.
