Question Ignition Switch

Does anyone know how to swap out the ignition switch? I recently bought a door lock, ingition combo and I have no idea how to pull out the old ignition. I tried putting a pin in the hole and turning the key as I had read on this site but that failed. So, if anyone has advice please post.

if I remember correctly, it's been awhile since I replaced mine, you have to put a paper clip or something similair that will fit in the hole while its in the off position, push it in all the way and turn it to acc. it might turn a little past b4 it comes out, but it should come out

Turn your switch to Acc. and then push a paper chip into the hole a push the button and the key should turn more and pull out.
