Ignition Switch Removal
G'mornin' Fellas,
I have a small problem-on Saturday, I pulled out the Sturgis and did all of the usual Spring stuff to get ti read-change Oil (all three places), new Plugs, drained the old Gas (and put in new), changed all the Filters, checked the Belt, Primary Chain, etc., etc.
Anyway, after I got it all ddone, it fired on the second engine revolution (it was great!), and it was a little dirty. I usually wash it in the Driveway, but i couldn't wait and went to the Car Wash-I was careful to watch where I was spraying, and then i wiped it all down-beautful day, and everyhting was going great until................I wouldn't find my Keys! I looked everywhere, and a guy washing his Car offered me a ride Home to get my other set. Got back (was nervous leaving it there), and put the Key in and off I went to get my annual Safety Inspection. Got to the Inspection Station, no key in the Ignition! Wnet back to the Car Wash, and, out in the Street were my Keys. they had been run over and smashed. As you may know, these are a "Barrel Key", or what I call a Coke Machine Key.
Anyway, I'm going to get a new Switch, but I looked at the nut (Bezel) holding the Switch in, and it is weird-it has a Chrome "Nut", but no where to put a wrench. It appears to have a couple of holes drilled in it around the bezel diameter for removal, and I've done a Google search and can't seem to find a Tool. Does anyone know how to get the Switch off?
Thanks in advance for your help-
