Bad Steel

I broke y key off in my ignition and now need a new ignition switch...just how hard is it to install one of these?! I know I must remove the cover around the steering column but what else is neccessary after that, is it straight forward; remove wires, etc?! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Did you try use a pair of tweezers or something else to pry the piece of the key out? You'll have to change the actual lock cylinder, and either you'll have to keep seperate keys for the doors/trunk and the iginition or you'll have to swap out the trunk and door locks too (IIRC)... or you could just shave all the other locks

and replace the ignition lock cylinder.
