Removing Ignition switch and wiper switch?

[SC74]

Anybody have some tips on removing the ignition and wiper switches? I'm taking my dash out to put a Centech in and these are the only two things holding me back. I thought about cutting it since I'm going in with new, but I've got to remove them anyways when I modify my dash.

Thanks.

Not sure about the wiper switch but the ignition is pretty easy here is a tech article for it.

If I were you I wouldn't cut them. You may need them down the road. I just did a Centech I re-used my old Ign. switch. There is a metal locking bracket on a spring behind the ignition. you have to push towards the dash and remove the bezel.it You must pop the turn switch out before you can remove the entire mechanism. There was a good removal discription in the MORE TECH articles on the left side of main page. I did use the after market wiper switch though. The plastic handle might be fastened by a small allen wrench nut on the shaft of the black handle. Pull that off and use a tool to remove the locking nut that holds the swtch and bezel in place. I filed down a pair of needle nose to a point to remove these nuts. Hope this helps. I'm not a proffessional!! Good luck. I'm very happy with my Centech.

My PO obviously had the same problem as the bezel has some nice vice grip marks on it. As you know replacements aren't cheap for what they are.
