Hi Tom P, May we assume you are talking about a 1927 or 1928? :confused: The repair manual that I have very conviently overlooks any instructions on the steering wheel/horn button/lock-switch instructions. It does picture the lock-switch, but does not provide any real helpful information. However, modern technology to the rescue. This is where I pull out the digital camera and document each step. I don't think you need a total disassembly in order to remove the lock-switch. If not in the locked position it should be removable by sliding up the steering column after removal of the wheel, horn mechanism, throttle and spark tubes. If you get into trouble--return with your problem and we will attack it.

Hi Tom,
When I removed my lock, the only problem I had was getting the lock piston out of the hole on the steering column. Even though it was 'unlocked', it still wanted to protrude a little. A lot of wiggling and poking around with a feeler gauge seemed to pay off. The difficult part was putting the lock back on AFTER painting the column. Difficult not to scratch the paint. Recommend masking off the upper column when sliding the lock back down. As for the internals of the lock, that will become obvious when you get it out. There is one pin you have to drill to get it apart. I tapped the hole and used a set screw on reassembly. Good luck!

I just contacted him again... it appears that his email address is stored in VCCA Chat with an invisible space in the address... so the system is rejecting emails to him... But if you email from your normal program using his listed address, then it works okay.... he should be replying to this forum shortly. :rolleyes:
