If the back of the ignition switch is loose you will probably need to replace it as they have springs and bearings in then IIRC, it's easy to do.

They use snap bolts to fix them in, so you will have to cut or drill them out, thus you will need to by 2 snap bolts for the new switch.

Or if you can get the old part out this might work
