2G Unlock steering wheel without key

[91TSi FWD]

Hello, been a long time since I've posted, but looking to get back into dsm's. I'm currently looking at a 97 gst, but the owner lost the keys. The engine doesn't run and I'm getting it very cheap.

The problem is I have to tow it, so will get a car hauler trailer. With no keys the steering wheel is locked, which posses an issue with loading it. Is there a way to unlock the steering wheel without too much headaches?

Thanks in advance.

Pull the steering wheel and remove the lock plate or try to remove the ignition lock cylinder.

I don't know if the Mitsubishi does this but on the big three, there is a number stamped on the door locks and the glove box. If it's there, take that number and have a key cut...It won't start the car because of the immobilizer... Worth a try

For my chevrolet vehicles the dealer keeps the key cut info with the vin and you can call and get a new key cut with proof of ownership like the title. Not sure if mitsubishi does that

Unbolt the steering column from the rack, you will have to get under the dash and loosen all of the column bolts to slide the steering column out after you unbolt the joint at the rack

You will need 2 or 3 6 inch extensions to unbolt the joint at the rack, I believe its a 12 mm bolt (or a 13)

You will need a phillips head screw driver and 10mm sockets to remove the drivers side lower trim panel.
