I had had mine out previously and about a third of it was left. When I took the ignition switch out this time it had completely disappeared.

Part of it ends up in the bearing itself. I stripped mine with brake cleaner and removed any remaining chunks with an pressurized air from the back. Regreased with MoS_2 prior to reassembly as an experiment (we'll see if it holds up...)

A guess says the rest of it ends up in the steering column tube. I cleaned some chips out of there with a shop towel, but I'd guess there's more of it beyond where I could reach easily.

Long story short: when they go, they go EVERYWHERE.
