Remove this, install spring from end facing column, hook on plastic body.

Re: Extra sping after steering wheel disassembly

So I'm having trouble getting the ignition cylinder into the hole, it appears that the pin flat part that is supposed to go into it won't turn back far enough, in the first two pictures I have shown what I mean, the third image shows the gear on the left side that move with the pin, what am I supposed to do to fix this?

Put the key in the ignition so you can turn/align the flat pin.
