So, my '88 Celica GT got broken into (twice) and they destroyed the ignition trying to steal it.
Now the police department is going to tow it tomorrow unless I move it. So this morning I hotwired it, but the steering wheel is locked, and I don't know how to unlock it since I can't turn the key in the ignition. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it unlocked? I can break stuff if I have to...I really don't want the car to get towed and impounded. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

hrmm the dumbest way...but it will work...
get under the dash and unbolt the steering assembly from the dash support bar, and rotate the whole heavy ass assembly. or drop it and try to remove the ignition lock assembly off the column *but itchy's way sounds like less mechanical labor, i didn't know you could break that mechanism) This post has been edited by playr158: Dec 7, 2007 - 2:50 PM |
