ok i worked it out.
see the pics in this thread: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=108402 i had to lower the colum using 13mm socket bits to access the top 8mm scrw holding in the white ignition switch after i had done this i could under the 2 bottom 8mm screws and remove the ingnition switch the switch was no longer sliding back and forward properly, so i pulled it apart and reseated all the internal components and clamped the switch back together again. it was a bit fiddly but i got it done and the car now starts again thankyou for this sweet tech article Matty! |

I guess SLs have a bit of a different setup, as i had screws holding in the indicator stork, but bolts, and the hole you had to make, is already there on a berlina
![]() but this guide was Awesome, and saved me hours, i had it done in less then ten mins, |

Any idea where the best place to get ignition barrels from now? I emailed www.ozeparts.com.au they are only doing body parts now.

ive ordered mine off ebay for $30.....question, how the hell are you supposed to take off the metal housing that the ignition barrel goes in??? i need to take it off as when they smashed my ignition barrel forward they chewed out teeth in the cog gear thing thats inside.
gregories talks about some snap ring ontop of the steering shaft but i cant get to it..? Last edited by wlk21; 19-02-10 at 14:15. |

get a steering wheel puller?
its like a harmonic balancer puller.. go buy one from super cheap, use it and then take it back saying it wasnt big enough for your car.

Im also having mayjor dramas pulling my barrel out...
if anyone's got any info on how i remove this thing it would be a great help! It almost looks like a factory fitted item, i cant see there being anyway of removing it besides a grinder! after trying to just get the barrel out i decided id just replace the whole column, but the metal surrounding doesn't even allow me to undo the wires! My VL (with metal surround) ![]() ![]() (underneath) ![]() Normal Column ![]() ![]()

That shield is the inner part of a Full Metal Jacket. Only way I found to remove it was to cut slots in the dome headed screws (they look like big rivets but are actually pk screws) for a screwdriver and get them out that way. The thing is then loosely interlocked but it will wangle off after that.
