Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / April 2005'63 Hawk
The ignition key on my new Hawk all of a sudden twirls around without doing anything, leaving me high and dry, so I figure it's shot. How do I remove the ignition lock? It looks like there's a little hole at the top on the outside case, but I can't get an allen wrench to do much. And how much will another ignition assembly cost me? Any suggestions for a Studebaker doofus? Turn the key to the ignition position and depress the pin through that small hole.

Any suggestions for a > Studebaker doofus? remove the whole assembly from the car, insert key, turn key to "run" and push down on the little nub sticking up into the case. Then you can pull the cylinder out of the switch and see what's broken and which part you need. good luck nate Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel On Mon, 11 Apr 2005 21:46:54 -0400, you wrote: >remove the whole assembly from the car, insert key, turn key to "run" >and push down on the little nub sticking up into the case.

But if its anything like a Chevy, insert a straightened HD paper clip in the little hole, turn the key counter-clockwise and the cylinder will pull out. > The ignition key on my new Hawk all of a sudden twirls around without > doing anything, leaving me high and dry, so I figure it's shot.
