Peebee 0 Posted July 8, 2011 How? Basically to change my ignition switch I need to remove my wheel locking bracket but it's held in place by a dam sheer bolt! Any thoughts? Cheers, Paul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted July 8, 2011 Yup. Then use one or 2 cable ties to hold the new one in place. Just make sure its tight enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted July 10, 2011 Yup. Then use one or 2 cable ties to hold the new one in place. Just make sure its tight enough. WHAT!!!!! That bolt holds the steering lock to the housing - you can't use cable ties and it will fail an MOT due to lateral play!! ---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ---------- EDIT - Just re-read the original post - no need to remove the lock housing to change the ignition switch! It simply plugs into the back and is held in place by a small screw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
