I just did this 10 days ago and I was impressed to see the pictures in this thread with the
tumbler and key still in the ignition. I removed the tumbler per the pdf but getting the tumbler
re-inserted was touch and go. I can see where some folks would have a problem getting it back in.
The key in KDW4Him's picture appears to be in position 0.
I assumed that moving the key to the ON position (position 1) would unlock the steering column in
order to get the ignition housing out. Maybe not.
Eliminating that step would make it some easier. Looking back over the pdf I'm not sure what was accomplished by removing the tumbler.
Surely onehundred80 will impart some wisdom.
