How to get key switch out of stock dashboard

atv4life95 · 08-11-2011, 07:47 PM

so how can I get the key switch out of the stock dash? I looked it up and only found 1 other thread on it, but the pictures showing how to do it were gone.. So how do I go about doing this?

I am not at the shop, but if I remember right there is a big nut on the back side and you should just turn the nut.

^^^ its super easy for an 03.

My 04 has the nut on top, even easier

The bottom of the switch is threaded, it's got a plastic nut on it. Pretty easy to get off once you see how it's on.

My ignition has the nut on the top also.

The nut for my ignition was on top.. I got it off and got Spize's dash installed

Mine was on top, you can see it in the pictures of my z in the link in my sig.

Actually I take that back, the rubber around the key covers it up. Sorry, it is on top though.
