What is the trick to install the tumbler portion of the key assembly between the key tumbler and the ignition switch behind the key assembly- closest to the firewall- I had the key tumbler and the ignition switch removed- I was installing a new ignition switch- when I removed the old ignition switch, I heard a spring release noise and the "mid tumbler portion" (between the key tumbler and the old ignition switch) :popped" out of place- not sure how to reinstall the mid tumbler correctly- what am I missing?
