Abstract An ignition switch housing removal tool 20 for removing an existing ignition switch housing from a steering column of a vehicle, the removal tool 20 comprises a bar 22, an expandable barrel 24 and engagement bolts 26. The bar 22 comprises side apertures 23a and 23c which are threaded and the engagement bolts 26 are threadably mounted thereto. The expandable barrel 24 is mounted to the bar 22 via an expander bolt 36 at a central aperture 23b. The expander bolt 36 comprises a tapered head 38 which engages the expandable barrel 24, and a threaded end inserted through the aperture 23b and to which an actuator nut 40 is mounted at the first side 32. Rotation of the actuator nut 40 moves the tapered head 38 of the expander bolt 36 towards or away from the bar 22, which thus engages the expandable barrel 24 to expand or contract as needed. 23a 6 22 FIGURE 2 50
