Replacing Ignition Switch

OK, I'm another guy who can't get the steering column housing apart so I can replace the ignition switch. I can't get the right sides apart. The screw that holds the upper and lower together is loose, but I can't get it to fall out and I can't get the sections apart.


Why is it always the last damn screw?


I have a 1996 2.5TL. What a great car, by the way. I bought it new, and I'm still driving it.

OK, I figured that part out. Now I need to know how to detach the key/switch assembly from the steering wheel frame. Or, it looks like if I can get some sort of 90 degree screwdriver thing I could just remove the part of the switch I am replacing (not the part that you put the key in). There is one screw that holds it in place that is in a place that is to tight to get to with a normal length screwdriver.
