Now for the fix.
After removing the barrel and latch mechanisms. Take a punch and push the pin down then tap it with a hammer. second picture shows the contents.
Clean it up reassemble and reinstall it in your car , easy as that . It turns smooth as butter.
The best part is you still have a steering lock.
Look at the quality of the new parts casting in picture three.
This is why I chose repair over replacement. The pin we removed is to prevent the steering rod from being pushed backwards but I figure if they can do that they still have to start it , so no loss there.
