David,

Replacing the steering lock assembly does not sound like a trivial job, based on the above thread from slk230red. Am I correct in assuming steering wheel, instrument cluster and all entailing trim and connectors must be removed to get to the lock assembly?

Anybody know how much the lock assembly costs new? I already have the new tumbler. Would you try and get a lock assembly from a dismantler or is this just asking for more trouble?
