Duckpit Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I have a 95 Supersprint. I would like to remove the steering lock including the ignition tumbler. Unfortunately I cannot get to see how it is fixed other than 2 threaded somethings so I do not know the tool to remove as I cannot see the heads and my phone will not focus that close.Help appreciated otherwise its an angle grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 They are fitted with two shear head bolts and are designed to be awkward to remove.On an original mini, which has a similar arrangement, I used a sharp punch and hammer to undo the bolts (and patience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 10, 2019 Member Share Posted August 10, 2019 (Crossed with Ian's.)From a quick search of the archives:The switch is a Land Rover part and can be changed while leaving the barrel in place.The lock is held by two bolts that are designed to shear.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Pretty sure the barrel is fixed by security bolts where the heads snap off when they are sufficiently tightened. I was fortunate on my '93 Supersprint that the bolts still had there heads on so was able to remove easily. However, that was 18 years ago so hopefully my memory isn't too hazy! Have you check both sides of the barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
