Installing ignition barrel, steering lock troubles

[moff_man]

Never had a problem with the steering lock, how did you get the old barrel out? If you remove it with the key 'on' like you are supposed to, the steering lock pin stays down.

not allways , most of the time you have to push it back down and if the lock is a bit worn it wont stay down

id say the ignition lock is stuffed..... just contacted the previous owner and hes the one who took the old barrel out, he used so multigrips and yanked it out apparently, so yeah i think shes stuffed

you need to take the wheel off and hold the pin in or you wont get it back in been there done that had me stuffed for a while till i poped the wheel off the silly lock bit kept getting in the way of it going in the first one i ground a little off the lock hook so it would go in then realised what needed doing now they are easy
