Ignition actuator switch broken please help!!!

theres two little plastic pieces that slide front to back depending on key position. these connect the ignition tumbler where the key goes to the actuall ignition switch. the little pin that holds the two pieces together somehow came out.

what i did was took all the lower dash pieces off. also removed the trim pieces around the steering colum.

theres two sets of bolts that hold the steering colum up. i removed the upper two bolts and backed the lower two maybe 3/4 the way out.

this should drop the colum down some to make it easier to work on.

theres two TQ bolts on either side of the colum that i removed and then used the tilt lever to tilt the wheel itself down far enough to get in where the littel pin is and work. i used a screw driver to turn the ignition tumbler to the correct position and then stuck the pin back in.
