Had a nightmare ealier when the steering lock wouldnt come off
put the key in and it wouldnt turn what so ever
i wiggled it pushed it in and out and it just wouldnt happen

in all seriousness though, before you tell me to wiggle the wheel done all that, gently tapped the steering lock, no luck
then suddenly it pinged and went,
i havent managed and dont want to engage the steering lock just incase!
how easy and should i remove the steering lock to prevent this?
Has anyone else had this problem and over come it by doing...?
thanks

take the lock collar off the column

you need a 5mm allen key and you can get to the 2 allen bolts through the slot under the casting

you may have to cut the tin dust cover off first

I never have the lock on the column as the locks are just waiting to fail, no lock and you can hot wire it and drive it.

it inserts fine but wont turn thats all
its been fine since the steering lock hasnt engaged, just got to make sure it doesnt engage!!
