Back when I had an '84, I had to replace two ignition
switches. This was five years ago, and my memory is
foggy, but I remember being able to leave the collar
assembly on and coax the switch out by jamming a
flat-head screwdriver into the slot. Remember that you
don't have to worry about damaging a part that is
already broken. :)

Bentley is little help in this case, but I had a
Haynes '80-'83 manual handy that had a full procedure.
Find a friend who has a copy or let me know if you
want me to fax the pages to you.

Best of luck!
Sam
