Just a note for the future, I have found it easiest to just remove the entire steering column with the lock assembly intact, and work on it outside the car. This is providing you can turn the key to the first position to release the wiring connection. Trying to remove the locking mechanism with the column still in the car (even unbolted), is much harder to do than just removing the entire column. It is also easier to damage the dash by twisting the lock mechanism while trying to remove it. It only takes about 10 minutes to remove it completely. I did it twice (out and in TWICE) in about an hour the other day. I replaced the mech with a good used one (so I thought), and had to take it out to replace it with another one. You will see what I mean if you do it this way, that it is faster and easier than trying to work on it with the column in the car.....Rich
