Cool!  What do you think are the chances she knew where they were all 
the time but was not going to give them to GRINGO, until the boss's boss

I tried that for 20 minutes and got nowhere.  Pulled the wires and hoses 
before, even turned the key to make sure the steering lock was not engaged.   I 
even opened the dash like a tin can and unbolted the steering shaft

Just take the clamp off the locking mechanism and yank the whole thing off in 
one piece.  It comes right out of the steering column.

Were  I able to figure out how to remove the ignition switchs at PnP, I would 
have a few back ups to my tumblers getting stuck.  There were two cars with 
keys at the yard, but I could not free the lock, so no pulling a complete lock

The easy way to solve that is to replace the entire steering column with a
used column for which you have the key to pull out the tumbler.  That's
what I did on my $500 Cabriolet.
