how do i unlock the steering without turning the car on? thanks

i already tried searching

 

If you turn it hard enough, you can break it loose. But I don't see why you would want to do that.

 

^is that the only way?

 

^cuz i gotta blown cylinder

 

you cant

 

you don't have to start the car, just turn the key to the "on" position.

 

Take a flathead screwdriver or something similar, and push it firmly into the top part of the steering column between the wheel and the column, and push the locking pin away from the steering wheel. You won't break the pin, but be careful, or you'll crack the steering column if you accidently slip and hit it or something.

No, I didn't learn this from stealing cars or something like that, I got it from one of those "Worst Case Scenario" books, it explained how to hotwire a car, and breaking lose the steering wheel is part of the process.

if you got a blown cylinder, you can still turn it in the "on'" position, and it will still unlock.

 

sounds like trouble....
