so how hard is it to put a new ignition switch in
you talking about the tumbler or the whole thing?
That actual piece where the key goes in. Mines got to the point to where sometimes I have to push and pull it out several times to get it to turn
had that on my sunbird you need to remove the tumbler and put a new one in then get a lock smith out there to re key it for your key. else you will end up with a very thin key

and you can buy a new key and lock.
well I thought about see what a dealer charges. going to their parking lot. putting the new one in myself and then letting them come out and make the current keys work with it (cause I don't want to have to change my door keys. and I just had two new keys made for the car cause they were only 25 bucks a key
so your going with my idea then cool
No. Kinda both. Cause I wanna keep the sane keyQuote:

EDIT: i have had this done countless times :th_tongue2:
How do I rekey my self? It looks easy in repair manuals. And I won't need a tech or anything will i
not sure never rekeyed one myself. I saw it done once and it took a few hours to get it right. so yeah it can be done
