HelloCustomerand welcome to justanswer.com,

 

There should be screws on the back of the switch to disconnect the electrical part of the switch from the key/tumbler.

Oh ok, you didn't mention anything about the tumblers in your original post. The "ignition switch" you mentioned in your post is the electrical part of the switch not the key/tumbler assembly you were trying to take out.
