There are several posts regarding curing the mechanism problem. Some suggest that it can be done without losing the detents...........others not.

I have to approach this at some point, relatively soon, before I forger to turn the wheel 90 degrees.
Sorry, I don't know. In my situation, once the locking bolt separated the key would turn and start the engine but wouldn't pull the bolt out of the steering column.
