Need a few tricks to unlocking a motor

get front tries off crubs, or rocks or other things blocking them.
then turn key gently, (wiggle it)
and then turns steering (L/R wiggle it)
bam it unlocks, the operators guide covers this topic.

the lock is bad, needs wheel off.
ive done 2 this year,
the lock also has 2 anti tamper screws (clamp there) by LAW.
they must be removed with vise grip,et cetra.
then replaced with new 6mm bolts.

1: plastic shells off. (under neath shells)
2: see IGN switch, see it now> see how it surrounds the shafts>?
if you and seen that first, youd not be asking here, now.
ok>?
3: wheel off..
4: remove the 2 clamp bolts from switch assembly.
5: this lets column drop and free up switch assembly
6: now it can be removed

i had to.
The steering casing shaft at the floor firewall down low,, only loosen the 4 bolts 4-5 turns.(trick 1) there.
allows column to move more easy.

the FSM covers this, 96 car is nearly the same
and book is rare free, but is here.
turn to 3F4 page 7, and read,

check to see if the brake lights come on when you press brake pedal. if they don't it is stuck in park because your brake light switch doesn't work and the swich also tells the shifter lock to unlock so you can move shifter. so If no brake lights fix brake light switch and that will fix it. the switch is located at the top of brake pedal

Hi Mouthtrick,

Set them at 78nm. Use a dog tooth tool mounted where the starter motor fits and lock it into the ring gear when tightening.

You can tow it any way you want if you put the transfer case in neutral and leave the front hubs unlocked.

Also check your thermostat- It could be kicking in and telling your motor it is too hot to run.

maybe refering to "Marvel Mystery oil" Best to tear it down and rebuild/replace it.

What I have done in the past when manual locking hubs were difficult, is have a friend get in the vehicle and slowly roll backwards while I attempted to unlock the hub.
