The switch itself has two screws holding it to the column mount. If you are talking about the key tumbler, it has a pin in it from the bottom. To remove it, you have to have a small screw, matching tap and drill bit and drill into it then insert the screw and use the screw to pull the pin out. The lock tumbler can then be removed.

You have two separate threads going on the same question, I posted on the other thread.

Note: two threads leads to confusion, would work better if you keep everything in one thread.

jimTN,
Will the same work on a '39 Deluxe Coupe? I don't see any other way to get the pin out.
Thanks Ken

Yes on jimTN advice for your '39. Did the trick on my '39 pickup and then I tapped the hole and am using an allen screw instead of another brass plug.
