  1. Remove the steering column. Refer to COLUMN, REMOVAL .
  2. Drill a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) hole in the left corner above the "M" of the Mercedes Benz stamping.
  3. Using a pick turn the gear counter clockwise until the gear can not be turned any more.
  4. Insert a suitable drift or pin punch (no more than 4 mm (5/32 in.) in diameter) into each release hole (1) on the module mounting bracket. Insert each drift or punch until it bottoms and leave in place. This will depress the two spring clips that secure the shaft lock module to the mounting bracket.
  5. Slide (and wiggle) the module toward the base of the column far enough to disengage the module from the mounting bracket.
  6. Remove the shaft lock module from the steering column.
  7. Disconnect the wiring harness connector and remove the shaft lock module.
