Steering is screwed up. - Minn Kota Endura 30 Freshwater Transom Mount Trolling Motor

is the lock assembly in the car or out?
there are 2 jobs here, removing the assembly
and after that, attacking the lock it self.???????

any lock smith can rebuild the lock, proper
it has pins that are pressed out.
it can even be rekeyed.

the remove assembly is covered in the FSM, no books?
alldata.com covers that.
it really is an Isuzu. impulse.

my guess is its job 1, assembly out.
so toss coin lands on job1
(on most cars, steering wheel must be removed)
once that is done, its obvious from there, right? that clamp there with the antitamper screws? then must be removed. and replaced new..

a rare car , and even more one that runs....

here is the online FSM answer

1. Remove the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the steering wheel.
3. Remove the combination switch assembly.
4. Turn the key to the OFFposition, depress the retaining pin and remove the ignition lock cylinder from the switch.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition switch.
6. Remove the snapring and spacer collar from the steering shaft.
7. Disconnect the back drive cable from the ignition switch.
8. Remove the ignition switch bolts and the ignition switch from the steering column.

now back in?

1. Install the ignition switch to the steering column and tighten the bolts.
2. Connect the back drive cable to the ignition switch.
3. Install the spacer collar and the snapring to the steering shaft.
4. Connect the electrical connector to the ignition switch.
5. Install the lock cylinder into the switch.
6. Install the turn signal switch screws and the turn signal switch.
7. Install the four screws and the coil assembly to the turn signal switch.
8. Connect the coil assembly wiring harness to the turn signal switch.
9. Install the two piece steering column cover and the two piece steering column cover screws.
10. Raise the steering column and install the upper steering column mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
11. Install the left lower dash trim panel and tighten the lower dash trim panel screws.
12. Install the lap air deflector and tighten the lap air deflector screws.
13. Install the knee pad assembly and tighten the five screws, the bolt and the nut attaching the assembly.
14. Install the engine hood opener cable.
15. Install the engine hood opener and tighten the two screws.
16. Connect the electrical connector to the cigar lighter bezel and install the bezel.
17. Connect the electrical connector to the left switch bezel and install the bezel.
18. Install the steering wheel.
19. Connect the negative battery terminal to the battery.

that?

To remove the ignition lock:

CAUTION
You must remove the steering wheel when replacing the ignition lock. On vehicles with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system, you must temporarily disable the SIR system and remove the inflator module when removing the steering wheel. Leaving the SIR system on could result in deployment of the air bag and possible personal injury.

• Disconnect the negative battery cable, and remove the steering wheel.
• Remove the bumper and the carrier snapring retainer from the steering shaft.
• Use a lock plate compressor screw tool to install the lock plate compressor screw in the upper steering shaft. To keep the shaft from telescoping, tighten it to 40 inch lbs.
• Using the lock plate compressor tool, install on the upper steering shaft, tighten it to depress the shaft lock. Remove the shaft lock retainer, the compressor tool and the steering shaft lock.
• Remove the turn signal canceling cam assembly. Put the turn signal switch in the "N" position and remove the upper bearing spring.
• Position the turn signal switch so the mounting screws can be removed through the holes in the switch and remove the turn signal lever.
• Remove the turn signal switch-to-steering column screws and lift the turn signal switch. Remove the wire protector and disconnect the turn signal switch connector.
• Use a terminal remover tool to disconnect the buzzer switch wires from the turn signal switch connector. Remove the buzzer switch assembly with needle-nose pliers.
• Place the lock cylinder in the ACC position, then remove the lock retaining screw and the lock cylinder set.
• To install the new cylinder lock, reverse the removal procedures.
• Tighten the lock retaining screw to 22 inch lbs., the turn signal switch screws to 59 inch lbs. and turn the turn signal lever screw to 53 inch lbs.
• As part of the final replacement procedures, check the operation of the switches and the steering column.

REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the screw (2) that secures the tilt steering column knob (1) and remove it from the tilt actuator (3) on the left side of the column.
3. From below the steering column, remove the two outboard screws that secure the upper column shroud (1) to the lower shroud (3).
4. Using hand pressure, press inward on both sides of the upper shroud above the parting line of the lower shroud to release the snap features that secure the two shroud halves to each other.
5. Remove the upper shroud from the lower shroud and the steering column.
6. Remove the one center screw that secures the lower shroud to the steering column (4).
7. Remove the lower shroud from the steering column.

10. Grasp the switch control stalk and pull it toward the left side of the vehicle to remove the switch from the mounting housing.

INSTALLATION
1. Slide the multi-function switch (1) into the multi-function switch mounting housing (3) from the left side. Be certain that the alignment pins on the top and bottom of the switch are properly engaged in the channels of the mounting housing.
2. Rotate the steering wheel far enough to install and tighten the two screws (4) that secure the switch to the mounting housing. Tighten the screws to 2 N·m (20 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the wire harness connector (2) to the back of the switch housing.
4. Position the lower shroud (3) onto the steering column (4).
5. From below the steering column, install and tighten the one center screw that secures the lower shroud to the steering column. Tighten the screw to 2 N·m (20 in. lbs.).
6. Position the upper shroud (1) onto the steering column over the lower shroud. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, be certain to engage the gearshift lever gap hider into the opening in the right side of both shroud halves.
7. Align the snap features on the upper shroud with the receptacles in the lower shroud and apply hand pressure to snap them together.

Yes it can, on top of the steering gear box there is a locking nut with a screw in the middle of it, loosen the lock nut and with a common screw driver turn the center screw in, clockwise for tighting steering and counter clockwise to loosen steering. That will take out what they call the play in the steering wheel.
