Actually you did it the hard way. There is 3 bolts to take the whole assembly out. One by the radio side and two from the hole where the instrument cluster was. Once you get it out you can remove it from the bracket.

Why did you replace the switch? What was the car doing exactly.

How does the Cable come out of the back of the switch, I have to replace the whole switch, as the key won't turn. we took the switch apart, but the fellow helping me said he couldn't get the cable out of the switch. I also have the cable disconnected at the shifter. Do I need to remove the new lock cylinder from the new switch before I can get the cable back in?

I don't have. A key and the old ignition switch won't come out and I can't release the old ignition I have no key to the car but I have a new ignition switch with the key! Please help ASAP
