My Ignition Tumbler started sticking and being a pain a little while back. It finally stopped working and I searched the boards and my hanes manual to see what I could do about it.
I got the key turned over to Position I, and promptly inserted my paperclip into the little release hole. But my problem is : I turned the key in the wrong direction. Instead of turning the collar counterclockwise, I turned the key and the tumbler itself clockwise. It locked in this position and will turn about 45 degrees, but will not turn past the point where I can stick the paperclip back in again. (It's stuck between Positions I and II) Is there anything I can do, save spend $600 having my mercedes guy tear out the whole assembly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
