Well, I have the tumbler out. That's the good news. Death wheel and a big screwdriver removed that in about 15 minutes.

Bad news is I am unable to rotate the mechanism. I suspect this is due to the tumbler being removed with the key in a position somewhere between 0 and 1. What do I have to do to get the pin to retract that holds the housing to the steering column? I can work with the tumbler out, but have not found the trick yet.

Any ideas?

I'd really like to get the car started so I could move it so I may work on it as I have time.
