working on a 2000 f350 and we cant get the ignition to turn. the steering wheel is locked and we turned the wheel, changed tilt positions, turned the key and still cant get it to unlock

. Is this a common problem and is there a way to fix it without tearing the column apart? any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

only way i know how to get it to unlock is to take the pressure off of the locked steering wheel and the ignition and wheel should unlock?

Got it unlocked, put a pair of pliers on it and took it easy and it turned.

try messing with the shifter? especially pulling it up towards park? (assuming its an auto)
