Parts inside of my Steering Colum Lock were broken. If I had not messed with it I would not have known that.
When I got the new Steering Colum Lock there is a spring loaded button on it that locks it into the Bracket that holds the Steering Colum in if your key is not in that special position and that is want makes the Colums hard to get out if something goes wrong inside of it.
If you push the locking plunger in and depress that Button the locking plunger is will no longer lock. When I got the new Steering Colum Lock I epoxied in that Button in the depressed position so it holds in the locking plunger. I did that back in 2013. Have had zero issues with that and doing that relieves some of the spring tension you turn against when you turn the key. That means your Lock Tumbler does not get as stressed.
