I had this same situation on my 1991 E300 and used a drimel tool with the little disk cutter. I went through about 15 disk to cut the black security ring off. It took maybe 45 minutes to a hour. Used a cut off piece from a metal coat hanger to push in the release and out it came. New tumbler popped right back in. I don't have the black theft ring anymore but don't feel many thieves want to steal a 26 year old faded paint Mercedes.
How did you remove the ignition cover(black part around the ignition)? Do I need a grinder to get it off cause I've been hitting it but it doesn't seem to be breaking.
how did u take off the security assembly? the black casing around the ignition? u didn't explain it. that's the biggest problem to get by. please tell me
so i have a 1987 w126,the key won't even turn to the first level. As I read the comment i'm asking myself,is it really possible to cut the black part with a dremel (security assembly).
I used channel locks to twist it off.. Took a bit but it came off and i reused it. Theres a socket type tool mercedes sales..push in qnd turn to the right.
Hi from Brazil) - E320 stuck shift btwn R and D. Once I move to P position, shift will not move to R, unless I manually turn a little wheel on the side of the assembly. I just found out I cannot remove the key from ignition even on a P position...OMG ! are the problems related one to another? anyway I can send you a pic from the shifter? Pls help..Best
Don't use this video as guidance, if you try to follow this you will be in trouble, there is insufficient information to get the job done. My advice: get reliable instructions elsewhere

I'm still wondering how you got the security shroud off there
Wow bro half a** job, really great help lmao!

Great video but how did you get the Black cover off?
How did the replacement go? I hear these lock up if not done in a specific way with the key.
How did you position the ignition position to the "ACCESORY" that allows this process to be completed?
how did u take off the security assembly? the black casing around the ignition? u didn't explain it. that's the biggest problem to get by. please tell me
+EGYNAPALM Cut it.
