First off, let me say I'm not a newbie mechanic - I've lived with and worked on VWs all of my driving life (40+ years). My daily driver is an '85 Vanagon. Having said that, I'm no pro - nearly every job is a learning experience (and an opportunity to expand my tool collection), it seems.
Right now I'm trying to replace my 2006 Jetta TDI's ignition lock assembly and have gotten stuck at the step in the Bentley where they tell you to use a 1mm feeler gauge to help remove the turn signal and cruise control stalks (I'd give the reference but the Bentley is out in the car and I'm not on speaking terms with the car right now). From the description, I'm supposed to shove the feeler gauge in there and apply pressure to move some invisible catch toward the steering column. It's not working for me. Anyone with experience have some advice? What am I missing?
