How to change ignition switch

[Grec]

Basicaly, I'm completly in the dark about how this comes apart.

Any pointers on getting the steering column apart and the ignition cylinder out?

I know. It's time for to buy a shop manual. :-)

pull the wheel & crush can , then remove the lock plate & there is a plate that holds the lock lever in place remove that & below it is a push pin that retains the lock cyl

Gotcha.

Thanks, guys.

OK, got as far as the crush can and I got stuck. D'oh!

I removed the large bolt in the center expecting the can to just come right off. Nope.

Figured I would ask before I began pulling on things and break something.

What else besides that bolt is holding the can on?

A very tight spline fit.  You need a steering wheel /hub puller.  Its available at most generic and good parts stores.  Don't try to muscle or pry the can off, you'll just damage it.

I had to modify my puller with a longer center bolt & 3/8 bolts to remove the can

My '70 Challenger was a column auto but somebody has installed a floor mounted slapstick. I may need to replace the column or at least the upper parts. What if any other MOPAR product steering column can be interchanged with this?   Thanks in advance. While on the interchangability theme what other headlight switch & wiper switch can be used? Not sure if it is a 3 or 2 speed wiper at this time.
