How to remove the ignition assembly

 

 

Replacing the ignition switch assembly using a punch.

  1. Punch the bolt head at 9'O clock. 
  2. Slightly angle the center punch and punch the bolt out counterclockwise.
  3. Do the same to the other bolt.
  4. Once both are loosen continue to twist the nut using your fingers.
  5. Installation may require a locking thread formula on the breakhead bolt's thread to prevent theft.



Note to publishers: The technique used here are common to all in the field of auto repairs but 
the Honda service manual doesn't provide this info to the public because this may reveal the 
ignitionswitch's weakness. To anyone who will talk about this type of information in forums or 
website please consider how this may expose Honda's weaknesses. If you are to publish this type 
of trick in different forms please advise the user to employ methods to lock the threads with a 
locking formula, or use a drill and roll pins upon installation (drill a hole thru the thread after 
tightening and insert the pin) or install an antitheft device. The bolt should be secured and 
must be prevented from moving. Don't assume that it will have to take more than two turns to 
breach the security, because it doesn't.
