That holds the Steering Colum Locking Bolt in the retracted position and keeps it from ever locking the steering Colum and with the pin epoxied in the retracted position even if my Lock Tumbler malfunctions I can get the Steering Colum Lock out with out grinding that pine.
I think that he's speaking of the pin that DieselGiant grinds away at with a Dremel in this link: http://www.dieselgiant.com/repairignitionlock.htm

I'm thinking that this will be my first course of action before I order a new tumbler. I can get a Febi tumbler for $25 with keys, any idea how much the OEM tumbler from the dealer will cost?
