Re: Replacing Ignition Switch on 105 Cars

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@domain.elided>]

I used a hacksaw blade to cut a slot on the top of the retaining 
fastener.  Then used a screwdriver sideways to get it turning.  It is a 
standard metric screw with a domed head.  Once loosened, it could be 
unscrewed with fingers.  Use a bolt for the replacement.  //kct
