Help Help (please) - I'm gonna bust the bottom cover of the steering column otherwise

[dna]

OK, I got it off. And yes I did break a couple of the clips. And yes, it was a bad ignition switch. H2 runs and starts again.

By the way, I did figure out to take the tilt-steering knob off - it easily pulls off with pliers and a rag around it to prevent damage. From there, getting the front clips top release was impossible without breaking the front clips.

I got it back together, and yes there is a slight sag now in the front of the top/bottom covers. No big deal though, and I may eventualy add a little glue or something if I bugs me in the future.
