bigdaz27 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 i thourt you wanted to get it of the road and home safe so you could work on it if you have tools where the car is the you could just drill out the 2 bolts that hold the barel on they have no heads on them if you did what i said befor you could still drive the car just dont leve it any where to dogey
emu Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 To remove just the barrel and leave the lock casing on the column you need to be able to turn the key. As Bigdaz says, you can remove the whole lock assembly from the column. Its held on with two shear bolts (the hexagon heads break off when you tighten them up) You can normally get them undone with a hammer and small chisel. If your lucky then someone will have already had it off and replaced the shear bolts with ordinary 13mm headed ones
evil knievel Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 if you cant pull the key out then the barrel isn't turning all the way back, the steering lock bolt has probably failed. could ask my dad what you need to do to get the key out if you like mate, he's been a locksmith for 30 years

(silly question) got any pics etc of what i need to get ahold of with a key?????? anyone got any ? lol
evil knievel Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 oh sorry i misread it has probably got a stuck wafer, put wd40 in the lock, but the key in and tap on the end of the key as if your trying to tap it into the lock. wiggle it at the same time. if it is a stuck wafer this will free it up.
