Reply to "ignition switch has covid"

No vintage locksmiths near me on the east coast.  Some of those guys are geniuses. Replacement wire harness smoke was out of stock at my NAPA. By mistake I went to Pep-Boys first but theres only a counter in there and no parts or stuff. Manny Moe and Jack must be depressed over that change.

So I started on the ignition switch. The cover was held on by two straight slot screws. I think thats why a phillips didnt work. I got it lowered and without cusing loosed the wires that were in the block. I also found an old car alarm wire mess in there that I forgot about. ( had it disconnected years ago. Horrible alarm guys didnt even remove it just disconnected it.) Anyway  I was asking if I can remove the nut Im pointing at in the picture and if the steering column would then come out so I could work on it on a table. I think it would be much easier to do that but I read nothing about doing it that way. I have not even tried yet to remove the security bolts.
