I need to get my FC out of our apartment's underground garage to be towed to a shop. The problem is, since the motor/tranny and much of the wiring, is stripped out, the steering wheel is locked up and won't turn. I can't get it out of the garage without pushing/steering it out. Is there any mechanical way I can bypass this to get it out? It is manual steering.

 

as far as i know just turn the key and itll be able to rotate

 

papiogxl is right ,, all you need is to unlock the steering column with the key

 

Ummmmmmmmmmm.....key in, unlock, and turn wheel

 

yeah, the steering wheel lock isn't electronic. as long as you have the ignition switch there just unlock the steering wheel like you normally would.

 

i tried it once...i'll try it again next time i'm down there...

 

If it's hard to turn the key, move the steering whele a little to the left or right to relieve the force of the wheel against the locking mechanism.

 

a little extra force got it going. thanks guys; you're all super.
