Haudi....

hey my wife doesn't know it yet but when she wakes up this morning she's not
going to be able to get her car running. I didn't think I could quite get by
her car in the driveway so I decided to push it back a bit. When I realized
her wheels were turned I went and got her keys. You all know where I'm going
with this.... 8-)  Now I can't get the key to turn in the tumbler. Since her
car already had the return spring problem with the ignition I have a new
unit in the waiting...  I've got two questions.

First, I've seen the writeup on the web site. The IC reference I assume is
Instrument Cluster....  Do I really come in from the back ?  Before readin
the writeup I had assumed I could remove the kick plate under the dash and
get at it from below... Hmmm, I guess I could do the 2w peanut bulbs AND the
outside temp bulbs while it's apart...

Second, is there a way to completely disable the steering wheel lock ?  I'm
guessing it's a mechanical thing... 

Ooops, gotta go, theres the phone... gee wonder who that is.

thanks,

tom.
