Lock cylinder removal

[Overdrive]

Help needed.
I am having a problem with removing the lock cylinder on
on one of my vehicles. The ignition switch is mounted in the
dash, not on the column and I cannot seem to get it out.
The bezel on the front which holds switch into dash seems
to rotate freely and as far as I can tell is held to switch by
shoulder of lock cylinder. Lock cylinder has a small hole
beside key slot and when in Acc position you can insert a
small screwdriver and press something in (does not depress in
Off or Run) but I cannot get cylinder to come out.

Can anyone give me the process.
Oh yeah the ignition switch is GM

Thanks

stick a paper clip in there and turn it to the ACC position  it should come out..

And make sure you have the key inserted while doing this or it may not come apart. Some do, some dont.

Thanks for the timely replies.
Had to keep turning past Acc with paper clip inserted but finally got it
out. Now just need to find a replacement. Hot lead to Sol connection
not working so no starter.

Thanks again.
