Hadn't thought of cutting the thing apart... that is tempting, but i do like the security of the wheel lock for situations where i'm parked on a hill and have the wheel turned toward the curb. I trust the wheel lock a lot more than my e-brake.
Since the unit is pretty much fubar at this point I'm going to pull the guts to get a closer look at the cam and see if the floating issue can be resolved.

The annoying part about the whole unit is it seems the lock cylinder and associated levers / cams all rely on being sandwiched together so removing the lock bar portion may not help address anything but rather make things worse.

I have an idea on how to make some retrofit pieces to address it but don't have a desktop mill handy at the moment.
