How do you remove steering wheel in 93 chevy pick-up in order to change ignition

remove the horn pad, some pull off some have 2 screws on the back of the wheel. then use a flat head screwdriver to remove the saftey lock ring. then remove the nut that holds the wheel on. u will need a steering wheel puller to get the wheel off.(hint. make sure the steering wheel is straight when you pull it off so you can put it back on the same way) once you have the wheel off you will need a lock plate compression tool. compress the lock plate and use 2 small flat head screwdrivers to remove the snap ring. once thats out of the way remove the 3 phillips head screws that hold down the turn signal switch.(if it has tilt wheel unscrew the tilt lever too.) pivot the turn sig. switch out of the way and you will see a silver torx head screw under the ignition. remove the screw and pull the ignition cyl. out. slide the new one in and put everything back in. you should plan on at least 2hrs. if its your first one. i have probably done 50 give or take and i can do it in 20min. good luck

yoou possibly would need a steering wheel puller(harmonic balancer). Because in many cases they are on a tapered splined shaft(and no amount of pulling or hammering is going to take it off)

first remove the horn cover usually screws are on back,then remove center bolt then unscrew turn signal assembly and carefully remove then go to your parts store and buy a steering puller it threads into your steering wheel
The key tumblers are on the column%26gt; If that's what you want out key in turn to acc with a pin insert in hole next to the key out it comes%26gt; If you want the switch it on top of the column under the dash not near the key???
are you changing the switch or the main ignition switch,to change the key and tumblers you have to remove the wheel ,you do that by removing all the external components then using a steering wheel puller remove the wheel,then remove the screw that holds the tumblers in and remove that part of it,the main ignition swich though is located down on the steering column and is a lot easier to change out than the key and tumblers are,good luck.
you need a steering wheel puller.
