My ignition switch jammed. The simplest solution appears to be a junkyard steering column with key, which I bought on eBay. I am willing to use a 2nd key rather than rework the cylinder.

Before I remove the old steering column I would like some pointers. I can remove the airbag and the steering wheel.

What precautions should I take to make sure the newer column fits the gears at the bottom end? Are there step-by-step procedures I should follow?

Suggestions are welcome.

For reference the eBay item is 230213863130.
