Ignition lock barrel removal

[Templ8e30]

Hi, I got a full lock set a couple of days ago and had been struggling to remove the ignition barrel from the column casting.

I finally sorted it today with (wait for it).......... a nail from a picture hanging kit

I've made a tech article about it if anybody is interested let me know your email addy and I'll send you a copy.

Mods if you think it's a good idea to have this in the tech articles section let me know

Cheers,

Submit the article to Adam Iain, the key is required so I dont think theres a security risk in there M8

PITA right, then suddenly, when you least expect it she pops out

I turn the key to first position, then belt the f out of the other end with a hammer.

Is there another way ???

I struggled with this on an E36, eventually sorted it with a piece of welding wire here. (Fairly similar to E30 I expect.)
