Default need help removing ignition switch

hello all,

my brother has a 1987 electra glide classic and we need help removing the ignition switch. We will need to fix the handle bar bushings.

please help with any picture or descriptions.
Also is there a place where to buy the shop manual.

The video is great. I wish I knew about it when I removed mine for the first time. I used the shop manual as Dawg suggested. No problems. It is always the first thing I buy whenever I get a new vehicle. Pays for itself over and over.
