Steering column lock - removal and refitting
Note: For ignition switch removal see Chapter 5. A new shear-bolt will be required on refitting.
Removal

the shear-head bolt must be drilled out.

The lower one is of bolt and nut type, while the upper one is of stud and nut design.
5 Lower the shaft/column carefully until the steering wheel rests on the seat cushion.
6 Centre-punch the end of the shear-bolt which secures the steering column lock and then drill it out. Remove the ignition switch/column lock (see illustrations).
