Subject:      Ignition Switch Housing Removal
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


Gotta change the ignition switch. Everything removed right down to the
housing - nothing left to do but pull the housing itself - and it will
not budge. Prol'ly never disturbed since assembly at the factory.
Double checked to be sure I didn't miss anything - and it is clean.
Simply cannot budge it. Checked with my FLAPS/Tool Rentals and did not
find a puller that would fit. Needs 6 inch puller arms and didn't find any.
When I did this on ol' Red - my 88GL - it came right off. On this one -
ol' Blue Volksiebus - it won't budge.


Anyone got any ideas? Have I maybe over looked something? Steering wheel
nut, steering wheel and switches all  removed, the black sleeve is
removed, and the cap screw is definitely removed. Anything else that
should keep it from moving?


Thanks,


John Rodgers
