But the point is my lock is not engaged, and he had to grind it out because he couldn't turn the key. I can turn the ignition because my tumbler is out, and the wheel is not locked, therefore my understanding is, the pin is not engaged to the column, thus not locking the housing in.

You will see him grinding out the pin (or called button)

This pin is what holds in the ignition lock housing.

That is why you can only rotate the housing 15 or 20 degrees.

If you feel the housing with your hand, near the steering column, on top of the ignition housing you will probably feel this little button (pin)

If it isn't depressed or ground out you will not be able to remove the ignition lock housing.
