steering colummn.

I pulled the steering wheel and turn signal thing to try to get to the lock cylinder and such. I got this far..

Except I had that white ring and the turn signal lever out.
I got the 3 or 4 screws out for the next plate and when I pulled it just pulled back the ignition actuator thing and turned the accessories on.
Now from there I just messed stuff up, the next to last black ring got broke so it's just floating around, the turn signals don't auto return and the tilt doesn't work. I think I can fix the tilt if I can get the wrest of that first column piece off, turn signals..idk.
So can anyone help me get the thing completely apart and back together.. correctly.

Come one guys, I really need help with this one.
I think I figured out how to get the ignition cylinder out, turn to on and push that pin on the underside correct?
Will this allow the rest of the column pieces to pull off and what pieces will I now need to fix the turn signal and maybe the tilt wheel.
The tilt isn't a big deal, but the turn signal return is gettin annoying.

Just in case anyone was actually paying attention to this I got it all figure out, now need this part http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...S_486167937___ and a turn signal switch.
The tilt was simply missing a pin.

Sorry I just saw this thread, I have been through that before myself haha. When I put it back together a couple of weeks later I had to crank on the cylinder to get it to start. I thought it was lock actuator again so I bought another one in preperation to take it apart. It ended up being the rod that connnects the actuator to the ignition switch lower on the steering column had started to come out of the ignition switch. So that was an easy fix

It's all good, live and learn.
The only actual problem in the first place was the cylinder sticking causing the starter to eat itself alive, upon trying to take apart the column and clean n grease things I managed to break the turn signal switch tilt and actuator thing. Oh well I guess haha, I'd rather be putting a clutch and than this crap.
