The steering wheel lock assembly will eventually fail and bind, so why keep it? Lop it off, be free. Being able to turn the steering wheel without the key is in SO LIBERATING. Kinda like being able to turn the engine over without having to press the clutch.

That’s actually where i’m at.
The cam that disengages / allows the locking bar to engage is not functioning correctly.
I have not pulled the guts yet but it feels like a circlip or retaining mechanism is bad allowing the cam to float and bind. I can see it happening with the cylinder out, just can't see under the cam yet to see what failed or if it's just worn out.
The cam follower attached to the lock cylinder then loses contact with the lobe allowing you to turn the key back to full off but the ignition switch attached to the cam stays in run position.
