- VZ Wagon & VT Calias
Hi, The better half jumped in our VZ wagon the other day and the key wouldn't turn, I have looked at the forums and tried everything,
Blew it out with a compressor,
Oiled the key,
Tried turning it as I turned then banged the steering wheel from one side to the other,
Noticed the key doesn't appear to be going all the way in, just missing the contact ring,
Question 1
could it be the actual steering lock section and not the ignition barrel that's causing this.
Question 2
How hard could I pull on the wheel before I stuff something.
I have got the steering wheel off and all the controls (blinkers and washers) and all that's left is the cast iron unit that enclosures the ignition lock.
This appears to be a one piece section, (seen a forum for the VS which said this section was in two parts)
Question 3
Is this removed with a puller,
Question 3
If you do remove this with a puller and it is the steering wheel lock section, won't I damage the steering wheel lock.
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
To top it off we are literally in the middle of moving 450km's away, done one trip but now need to get this fixed to get it moved.
Thanks Shane
