Unhappy 1987 TD Diesel wagon HELP!!!

I just bought a diesel wagon 87 off of ebay and it supposidly needs a headgasket. Well that is not all it needs. I picked it up yesterday and it has a ignition problem!!!!

I have the panel torn apart and the previous owner took out the key lock assembly due to the key being stuck in the holder. I put the other key assembly in and the key will not turn. Steering column is locked and need to put in garage so I need to take it back out but cannot get the lock to retracted. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT.

do you have

a repair manual? there is a intricate series of steps that need to be done to remove the tumbler, designed to prevent theft. if you dont have one let me know i will recite the steps here... but it is helpful to have illustrations too and i dont know how to post pics.
