In retrospect, I can tell you that the Superman Cape sleeve is the only thing securing the lock cylinder to the column. So by removing it, you remove the broken lock. Similarly, the only part holding the lock to the sleeve is the front part, which I call the collar and a single clip around its exterior. So I took the dremel with a few cut-off discs, and let ‘er fly. I recommend covering as much of the area around the steering wheel with newspaper and tape, as sparks and steel shavings will be plentiful. But again, only took about 5 minutes. I took care to only take the front of the sleeve off, trying to see the complete cylinder edges when looking straight on. Again, I tried the tools and pulling like mad with needlenoses, but I still couldn’t get it. Impatient, I blamed my poor Dremeling, and mussing up the cylinder (see above).
