Default 968 steering wheel lock

my 968 parts car arrives tomorrow, just got a call from the driver that's making the delivery that the car doesn't have the keys and the wheel is locked.
its coming on a 4 car carrier so we need to unlock the wheel to get it into the garage. if anybody has any ideas on the best way to do this it would be great help.

thanks

Where da keys at man? Seller not send them?

Remove the steering column, remove the lock cylinder.. or take the VIN to a Porsche dealer and they SHOULD be able to make a new key, but it will probably cost you...

You might be able to remove the intermediate shaft at the steering rack, if you're lucky and the bolts are pointing the right way.

Or put the front wheels on dollies....
