Well I need your help again. My ignition is showing its age and twice now it has been a fight to get the key to move past the "0" position.

I've researched the archives, and cannot find any information on how to remove the tumbler specific to the W140 body. Lots of information on the E and C classes.

At this stage, I have successfully removed the plastic housing but am left with a 1-1/2" hole with the ignition switch bouncing around in it. I have the dealer's universal unit in my hands to compare against, but there seems to be a plastic or steel boot wrapped around the ignition switch/tumber assembly. I can't seem to locate any holes in the boot that would allow me to get to the tumbler release latch. It also appears that I have to remove the key to seperate the boot from the assembly.

I need the geniuses of the board to assist.

Thanks

Ron
