While messing with my 1937 Ford, I accidentally forced the wheel against the lock and the shaft was apparently liberated from the pin. The wheel seemed to turn freely. Not sure if it was turning the tires. I unlocked the column and took the car for a short ride around the block and it steered fine. I took out the key and then turned the wheel until the pin fell in the hole. It seems to be locked now just like it used to be. Did I screw up this lock/pin combo?
