1. Remove the steering column Steering 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 shaft lock module toward the base of the column far enough to disengage the shaft lock module from the mounting bracket.
6. Disconnect the shaft lock connector and remove the shaft lock module.
