'35 Ignition Lock, removing plunger pin?
 

I'm trying to pull the pin out of the Steering Wheel Lock Plunger -- some of the reading I've done calls it a "nail" -- but having no luck. Most "how-to" articles just say "remove pin..." (It's #10 on the diagram below).


Any secrets to yanking this guy out?


A second question: With this pin in place, the "plunger" will not currently retract far enough to slide the entire column drop off the column tube. Is this normal?


Thanks.

Got the pin out....


Is there a source for these pins? For other parts and pieces to this assembly?

Grab the pin in a small pair of vise grip pliers as tight as you can make it and then with a long shaft screw driver pry up on the the tip of the jaws of the pliers.

I grabbed the pin with a small pair of vice grips, then clamped a larger pair on and used it to pry out the pin.
