!984 Rx7 wheel locked with no key and we need it move ASAP
Me and my cousin have had a 1984 Rx7 fb sitting for a while, during the testing of the key in the ignition, it broke off. We tried getting it copied but to no avail and the lock cylinder is now damaged. we need to move the car, but with the key broken and the steering wheel locked up we don't know what to do. Searching how to disable the lock comes up with nothing and we do need it moved soon due to siblings being known to bust out windows on other vehicles. If any of y'all know the easiest way to move it or to unlock the wheel it would be greatly appreciated.

unscrew the steering column covers. the ignition lock has bolts with no head so you need to chisel them loose.
takes about 15 minutes

you will have to take the trim off below the steering column and then drop the column down enough to grind or dremel flats in the bolts or chisel them and then the steering wheel will unlock. You can buy a new ignition switch as well
