Yup it's all pulled apart right now. I know what I have to replace I just can't get the new piece in there and have no clue how to get more clearance

Go online and punch in : "Chris Bradley Technical Reports"
This guy documented a Tilt column break down to change out the ignition actuator on a full size bronco- (same column)..Pictures on each procedure..when you get there-scroll down to #25 and click the pic

Good old Bill

Its been along time, am think the key cylinder has to be turned to accessory, full left. Now take a screw driver insert in column into the slot and turn it left to the accessory position. Now insert key cylinder into column, turn right to off and remove key. Give that a try.
