Yes, and no. I actually transferred the wafers from a cut-up ignition lock (column seizure, looks like) to a good one from the boneyard. Removing/drilling out the retainer pin that held the lock together was the only hard part. A piece of wire served to replace that (soft) pin. My point is that unless it's actually broken, you may be able to disassemble it enough to actually restore it to service. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
