Clear dash data you can use Digimaster 3 or digiprog 3.
Remove dash device you need other tool.

As others already explain, you don't need to remove the lower dash area to replace the ignition switch, but if you need to remove it for whatever reason, you must first remove the color matched part of the dash that lies just below the steering column by removing the three large bolts that secures it to the dash metal frame (located along the end of the cover) and then pulling it towards the seat as parallel as posible to the floor to disengage the clips that hold it to the dash, then you will see the four screws that hold the lower plastic part of the steering column cover, take them out and you're done.

There is a little more to it than that, but not a tough job if you have patience. You will need to remove both 'doors' on the dash-one glovebox, one fuse access panel. on US models, you will need to remove the pass side airbag as well, then 2 bolts that hold a set of relays under the airbag, then 5 bolts that hold a support bracket (also under the pass side airbag-behind glovebox.

Then under the dash at teh outside near the doors, remove 2 sets of 10mm bolts. after than remove 2 sets of 10mm bolts near where the bottom of the dash touches the tranny tunnel. obviously all the center console needs to be removed, and the center panel of the dash, as there are several sets of screws that hold that to the back of the dash.

be patient, take lots of photos of how it goes together, and where the wiring is(was), and this is pretty easy.

Thanks

to remove the dash in your truck you will need to dedicate about 8-10 hours. first start with removing your kicker panels, then the plastic covers on your a-pillars. remove the bezels around your instrument panels. you should be able to see some black screws by now, they should be a 7mm some may be a 5.5mm start removing all the screws you can. next you will need to un plug all of your switches, airbags(yellow plugs), 12v accessory plugs, be sure to remove your battery cables before unplugging all of this. your dash cover is a pain to remove so be patient with it or you will break it easily. to remove your dash cover remove the screws in the front and you will have to pop the back of dash up then remove. next you will need to remove your steering wheel/column this is easily done however you will need alot of extensions for your ratchet to do this. after pulling your steering wheel/column remove the four screws by your windshield to remove your sub-dash i believe they will be a 10mm. remove your sub-dash. next you will need to remove the dash support frame, you will need a 15mm and a 10mm socket to do this, i believe there is 5 bolts holding this on. if needed you can remove the black box that holds your fan heater core blender door cab filters and etc... to do this you have to remove the ac hoses coming out of your dryer can going into the firewall, this will bleed out all of your freeon, next remove the heater hoses, now there are 7 bolts or nuts to remove on your firewall, when you remove those you can pull out the black box.
