Lock barrell assistance.

[CMF_bongo bus]

Hi guys.

I'm currently trying to install a new steering column into my k11.
I have removed the old one but have realised that I need to install the lock barrell from the original steering column into the new column.

1. Does anyone have any experience in doing this?
2. If so how do I drill out the sheer screws to remove the lock barrell?
3. How do I refit the lock barrell onto the new steering column?
4. How do I re-aline the new steering assembly?

At this stage any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
John.

just use a punch to turn the heads john, and i usually bust some of the shrouding metal off first, to get a better angle with the punch.
then refit with allen bolts or whatever

Will I need to get the steering re aligned after this?

No, only track rod's and the rack can alter toe in or toe out.

aint there a notch on the lower spline that will only fit at one position ?

Yes there is... I just wanted to make sure that it's the ok... Is there anything I should look at doing before I put the steering back together?

Mine has an airbag. Never seen a Super S fitted with an airbag though.

When I fitted a new ignition barrel I used a screw extractor to remove the shear bolts eg drill a small hole and use the extractor to un-screw them out.

How do I get the steering column back in?
