Well, because it's what thieves use, I wouldn't take that as to mean it won't cause any damage. I don't know any thieves that worry about not damaging what they're stealing (actually, I don't know any thieves!). I guess I misinterpreted what the OP was asking. There seemed to be some implication that without the key, the steering lock would prevent the ignition switch from coming out. I don't recall that to be the case. And if it was, I wouldn't force it out with a hammer, slide or otherwise. bs -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
