Hi...tonight i had the sudden urge to take the stock radio out of my 87 supra. (since it doesnt really work anyway)

So i took off the dash trim piece thing and got it off fine unplugged all the things took off the shifter knob all that stuff...i took out the radio and the climate control. somewhere along the line i moved the wheel a bit then all of a sudden it clicked and locked up.

then i went and connected the battery and tried to start it up, and the keyhole doesnt turn. Niether does the steering wheel. im really lost please tell me I'm a stupid noob

heres some pics of the steering column...

LMAO! You took apart your steering column because you locked your wheel? OMG, this one is for the books. Just put your key in and turn the wheel in the direciton you locked it, as Justin said. :lol:

Wheel lock is a standard on a lot of cars, not really a trick
