How do you remove ignition switch from steering column?
Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the two shear screws now that you have cut a slot in.

At this point, simply repeat this process in reverse with your new ignition switch.
Can you cut a top screw on a Datsun?

Hang a shop rag to protect the sensitive electrical components and dashboard.
