Re: [MBZ] frustrating 1987 124 ign lock

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I had it at the wrong detent.   I thought the pins would not go in at 
the wrong detent.   I think it would have popped right out if i'd had 
the switch on the right detent.  Never did that before...


I did eventually find the right pdf, but it had no elucidation.

In the meantime, I looked up AWG to mm and 12 ga is just a hair over 
2mm.   I made a new pair out of 12 ga solid copper.   But the 1.5mm ball 
driver allen wrenches are big enough across the lands to pop em off if 
you on the right detent.

Not taper no release -- a square end will just push against the springs.

Taper on the inside.

Are the ends of the release pins tapered at 45 deg.? They need to be to
release the lock pin inside.

OR, either bigger or smaller pins maybe?

[MBZ] frustrating 1987 124 ign lock

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Been trying to get the ign. lock and cover off the 300D (1987)   Have 
1.5mm pins in each side, both about 1" deep, but can't get the thing to 
release.   As I recall, when the pins are in, both the lock cyl and 
cover pull off on this model.


What am I doing wrong?  Can't get the cyl out, the cover off or both off 
together.


Can't find the pdf on Dave M's manuals website.
