Hi All,

I am starting my restoration on my 1970 steering column, and was re-reviewing Cody's excellent videos on the subject. I noticed a tool that he had to remove the Key Buzzer from an old Ignition Switch. I am posting a picture for reference. I would like to purchase one if possible, because I tried to remove the old Key Buzzer from my old ignition switch, but I can't seem to do it. I am posting a picture of the tool for reference. Any assistance on locating the tool would be great. Thanks everyone!

It is a terminal removal/extraction tool/depinner. The picture looks like a Lisle brand.
Should be able to find one at your nearest auto parts store or online.

Or you try squeezing in the tangs with a jeweler's screwdriver.

Yep: I always use the tiny screwdrivers and disassemble every terminal, clean and inspect.

Hey thanks everyone for your replies and I really appreciate the information! I will definitely check out all the resources you all have mentioned. (I did try the tiny screw driver trick, but wasn't successful.) But I will look at the links and items suggested. Again, this is awesome information and I really appreciate our forum community.

So a quick follow-up on my saga on obtaining the right tool to remove the old key buzzer from the old ignition switch. I bought off eBay a car terminal removal tool kit (supposedly "heavy duty"), and it didn't work and broke the first time I used it. (Posting a picture for reference.)

In the meantime, I also order the Lisle brand tool from Amazon, and it should arrive today. I want to have the tool anyway, because it looks a lot sturdier than the cheap one I bought off eBay. Thanks again for everyone's responses.
