That's the easiest way to check before tearing it all apart. The very small
Phillips head should be visible when you're lying on your back looking up
at the switch under the dash.

Subject: [TR] Re: TR6 ignition switch assembly removal help needed
Keith, if you need to remove the entire lock and ignition switch, then
either the dremel method or the chisel method will work. But it may be that
the ignition switch is broken and is preventing you from turning the lock
mechanism. If the ignition switch is gone, then you may be able to remove
it without removing the lock mechanism. You should find a very small
phillips screw somewhere on the housing that is used to secure the ignition
switch to the lock mechanism. I forget if the screw is difficult to get at
while in place on the car. Then you can remove it and see if the lock
mechanism is still busted. If not, then just replace the ignition switch.

Need your help. I have to replace the ignition switch/lockout assembly on my
74TR6 as the innards disintegrated last Friday. (First tow in 10
years)
I have the dash out and have access to the clamps but I have no idea how to
remove the "bolts" off the clamps. They have no head or screw slot and no
visible means to unscrew them. I am nearly positive this is the original
unit. Does anyone have any idea how to get these out, or if there is some
sort of special tool to remove them? This car is going nowhere till I figure
this out.
