remove the steering wheel, remove the clip that the horn contact is held in with, remove the Torx head screw that holds the ignition cylinder in and pull the cylinder out. reinstall in the opposite order.
NO SPECIAL TOOLS ARE NEEDED other then the correct size socket for the steering wheel hub nut, a small screwdriver to pry the clip out, and the Torx driver for the cylinder screw.

I also have a 1991 Chev. and my ignition switch also went bad the same way as yours. I did much reading about changing it myself and I do much of my own work on my car but this time I chose to pay a garage to do the work for me as mine has a air bag in the coll em and if you don't have the correct tools and know how it is dangerous to fool around with the coll om as the air bag can deploy taking your head off! Anyway, it took them about 2 hours to replace the switch and cost only $357.00 Good luck with yours!!!

You can see how it's done here. Follow the directions until you get to removing the lock cylinder. When the screw is removed, the cylinder just pulls out. Not an easy job.

you should tear down the guidance solumn to get the tumbler assembly out. in case you arent mushy doing that take it to a save, reason Im enormously particular that has an airbag interior the guidance wheel and you'd be risking severe injury in case you dont comprehend what you're doing and short out the wires and the bag deploys. reliable success.

go to your local auto zone or checker, whichever you prefer and buy the replacement cylinder (it comes with keys) and follow the enclosed instructions, usually very simple, should only take about 5-10 minutes

i own a repair shop,and you have to pull the steering column apart on it,i suggest that if you have never done it don't try it,besides it takes a few special tools to do this with,and not all shops have them but i really recommend you don't try this,because once you get this all apart,its really hard to put back together and i mean hard ,,even for a good mechanic its not easy just let someone do it for you on this job,,you,ll thank your self later for not trying to do this one,good luck,i hope this help,s.

MY SUGGESTION IS TO TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HECK HE IS DOING. THERE IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, THE ONE THAT IS LEFT AFTER HAVING LOST THE OTHER TO INCOPMPETENCE IN TRYING TO DO THIS JOB YOURSELF.
