Several tire dealerships have a tool that will do the job.
Yes, a good mechanic should have the tools to remove a wheel lock without damage to the wheel.
The Steering Column locks the wheel in place and when the steering wheel is locked you cannot turn the key... try turning the key with gentle force while turning the steering wheel back and forth.
PUT YOUR KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT TO THE LEFT WITHOUT PUSHING DOWN ON THE KEY.PUSHING DOWN ON THE KEY LOCKS THE STEERING .
Go to the parts store and buy a pack of 4...that usually come with the special key to install/remove them. Take off one lug nut from each wheel. Replace with the wheel lock.
I don't know exact where the shifter is but try grabbing on to the stearing wheel and crank it to the right or the left until it locks into place then the key should come out.
Usually you have replace the ignition key cylinder.
Yes unfortunately most 1998 model come with wheel Locks. So if you don't have the key or the person doesn't have a key expect to fork out between £40-£80 for removal. Waste of tiem wheel locks really!
Try moving the steering wheel back and forth. Usually the wheel locks itself when the key is out so the holes become misaligned
the steering wheel is in a bind and holding the locking pin to tight try turning the wheel and the key at the same time
This process is for 2006-2009 models. First disconnect the battery. Squeeze the two side holes of the steering wheel with two straight screwdrivers to remove the airbag. Then note where the plugs go to. Finally you will see a screw in the center of the steering wheel. Mark the point where the screw locks and remove it using a tork key (T50). Refitting is a reversal of removal.
If the key is stuck in your 1998 Mazda 626, the steering wheel column may be locked. To remove the key, adjust the steering wheel and turn it clockwise to the proper position. Then try removing the key.
