How to Remove the Ignition Barrel from an Opel Corsa?

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the ignition barrel on an Opel Corsa, you need to unclip the fastening clips of the plastic covers on the steering column, located at the back of the steering wheel. Once the covers are removed, disconnect the connectors shown in the video to access the top of the ignition barrel. Here, you will find a small hole, which you need to lever to extract the barrel from its housing. Once the old barrel is removed, you can replace it with a new one and reassemble all the previously removed parts.
