[T3] '66 ignition lock removal

[Westfalia <swharris@adelphia.net>]

Trying to remove my ignition lock per factory manual.  I've got the
wires unsoldered at the block and the lock is free to move. 
Unfortunately it will only come out of its bore about 3/4 of an inch and
then it hits something inside the column.  It (the thing it is hitting)
sounds like it is in front of it where I can not see.  Unfortunately I
do not have a key(thats why I'm taking it out), and am hoping this is
not the column lock it is hitting.  The steering wheel turns freely so I
assumed it was unlocked.

Am I missing something?  The procedure in the factory manual just says
to push the lock back 20 mm to free the wires and then pull them out of
the column and then push the lock out.  What am I doing wrong?
