Awesome! It took me about an hour or more of fiddling around when I did this job on my wagon.
Glad you got out done without an expensive visit to a shop. Max -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Then I tugged a little on the key and the tumbler assy. and the black "skirt" came out together! Just like ya'll said it would! It took a few tries to get the new one in place - basically the tumbler assy. slid into place and I rotated the "skirt" until it went into place also. Turned the key back to 0 and Pulled the tool out. Pulled the key out & tried it a few times. Works like a new car! BTW, I left the tool in place the whole time - wasn't sure if I was supposed to remove it once the tumbler came out but I left it in. ;-) Thx agn LarryT 91 300D -----Original Message----- From: Peter Frederick Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 12:30 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Ignition Switch replacement 91 300D W124 Yes, the tumbler has a single lock, and so does the cover, that's why there are two holes. Make sure you have a taper on the ends of the pins, otherwise they just stop when you hit the spring(s) and do not release the locks. The only thing holding the parts in place are the two locking springs, so once you have them correctlty depressed, it comes right out.
