Hi all,

I bought a steering column to replace my old one and I didnt think about asking the previous owner to remove the key lock cylinder and I did not receive the original key either, so I cant do it myself. My question is, can I remove the key lock cylinder on the new steering column without the key? The only thing that I can think of is to grind down the locking tab with a dremel. While this would work I am looking for a little quicker option than sitting there for half an hour and grinding it down.

Thanks for all the help.

Try turning the key to accesery point and you should see a little hole ,inside the keyhole . Put a paperclip(not a cheap crapz one) or something stronger of similiar size into hole it should pop out ,ithe little hole may even be located in the off position.hope this helps..
