I have replaced 2 of these. I think you have to have the key in position #2 to be able to slide in the paper clip to remove the tumbler. It is also the same position you need to be in to remove the plug off the rear of the steering lock assembly. You can not just simply pull the plug off w/o using the paper clip.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
