Ignition/lock switch removal...?
The ignition/lock switch on my '08 Superglide is locked up all of a sudden. I've searched the web looking for instructions on how to remove/replace it but haven't found any good info. If anyone can tell me how to do it or point to a link that has instructions I would greatly appreciate it.

There is a little plastic trap door under the frame at the front of the tank (about 3" to the left of that switch) You will have to take the trap door off and you should be able to get into the backside of the switch. Pull your main fuse before you stick your fingers in there. You may have to slide your tank back a few inches if there isn't enough clearance for you to get in there.

heres how you remove it,, remove the stuck on sticker switch surround, I use circlip pliers but you can improvise, you will see 2 holes I cant remember turn left or turn the plate right as too unscrew it, what your trying too achieve is the switch assembly spreads in /out and that's how it is held in to the neck no bolts just try and youll see what I mean and as above remove trap flap cover

Thanks for the replies! Looks like I'll need to get the tool for it regardless. I wonder if I will be able to clean it and free it up or if I should just replace it. Really sucks because today was the first chance I would have had to ride this year! I was all dressed for a ride and it wouldn't let me start the damn thing today. Funny thing, I just took it for a quick jog up to the store about a week or so ago and not a problem. Strange that they go out like that with no warning whatsoever.
