|
hey guys i'm really desperate now, my sis's 21st is coming up and i have to get rid of this car but i can't bloody get the steering lock off. and Gene ur trick doesn't work, half da steering wheels is almost broken with me bashing it to smash the lock off. And to show how desperate i was i started drilling a huge hole straight thru the key hole, half way thru and still nothing will budge. My last option is to angle grind da fuckin ignition lock off will that do ne thing??
Please guys ne help
cheers steve. |

get 3-4 or 5 people and faluse the steering wheel in one direction... it will brake free the lock
clockwise is easiest
i did this too my car when i was 17 cos my dad took the keys off me...
than i had too figure out too hotwire it... which wasnt too hard either

Was ExGem actually. But if worst comes to worst, disconnect the steering rack at the column, the flexible joint, and turn the wheels by hand. |
