here you go edd.....take off the steering wheel trim until u can see the wiring for the indicator stalks . put the ket in the switch to posistion I then get a paper clip or a thin piece of wire press the rod down onto the spring and pull out the lock using the key, if it doesnt come out on posisition I try II, then disconnect wiring connector, there might be two screws to take out one at the front and one at the back. fitting it put the new lock in on position I or II. keep the centre of switch block alligned with the lock cylinder rods, push it into its housing area until the springs click, check it all and refit steerign wheel trim
