To complete the job, you will need four special bolts with breakaway heads.
Note: If special bolts are not available, you can secure the new lock using M6 threaded bolts 20 mm long, however, this will significantly reduce the car's anti-theft protection.
Removal
1. Disconnect the ignition switch (lock) wiring harness connectors (see above, "Ignition switch (lock) - check").
2. Resting the blade of the chisel against the edge of the head of one of the bolts, lightly tap the chisel with a hammer to loosen the bolt.
Note: The chisel should not cut through the bolt head, but only turn the bolt counterclockwise to loosen it.
3. Using narrow-nosed pliers, unscrew the bolt.

4. Similarly, unscrew the three remaining bolts securing the ignition switch (lock).
Note: When removing the last bolt, hold the ignition switch.
5. Remove the lock mounting bracket...
...and the ignition switch itself from the steering column.
Installation
1. Before installing the ignition switch, insert the key into it and turn it to position I - "on" so that the steering shaft locking mechanism latch is pushed into the lock housing.
2. Install the ignition switch with the mounting bracket on the steering column and tighten the new mounting bolts by hand.
3. After removing the key from the ignition switch, check the operation of the steering shaft locking mechanism. If the steering shaft is not locked after a full turn of the steering wheel, adjust the position of the ignition switch on the steering column so that the lock latch can enter the groove on the steering shaft.
4. After making sure that the locking mechanism is working, use a spanner by 10 mm evenly (crosswise, half a turn) we tighten the bolts until their heads come off.
5. We carry out further work in the reverse order of removal.
