I wasn't able to, I tried removing the lock barrel and squirting oil down the resulting hole hoping it would make it's way to the l steering lock bolt... no difference. So I took the whole thing apart, steering wheel, part of the dash etc. A little oil in the right place solved the problem so all it cost me was my labour... except that I had already bought a new lock mechanism.
