Hi everyone, the ignition rod broke on my 1999 LX470 (electronic tilt). I've removed the broken piece, ordered the 7853B part from amazon, swapped that metal 'tongue' and 1 little spring, put it back together and this is how it works (see video).

- The wheel doesn't lock even without a key
- Car starts, but you need to jiggle the key for a while

I've tried to remove the new part and spent over 5 hours with no success!! Any tips? I'm a bit frustrated to say the least. Thanks!
