Re: 48 Ignition switch

I believe the 48 22nd series switch is the same as the 46-7 but with a terminal for the coil wire instead of the wire being inside the armored cable. If so try removing the cylinder the same way as the earlier switch.
If you have a key insert it and turn the cylinder to the on position. Use a punch or large paperclip that will fit inside the hole on the side of the case. Insert it and push in against a spring loaded retaining clip on the cylinder. When the clip feels like it has moved then continue pressure and at the same time grasp the key and jiggle the cylinder as you pull the cylinder out. It may take a try or two as the mating between the punch and clip can be fussy when lining up.
If there is no key then it will require CAREFULLY drilling a second hole the same size as the original in the case at the position the cylinder retaining clip will be when the switch is off. For a 46-7 switch distance will be 5/8" away from the original hole and must be exactly the same distance from the edge of the switch so it will be directly over the retaining clip groove. Because you will also be directly over the retaining clip use extreme care to control the drill and not drill deeply enough the sudden breakthru of the bit will damage the clip. Removal of the cylinder is the same except there is no key to hold onto so you will need some dexterity in grasping the end of the cylinder to pull it out.
