DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

I've spent 4 hours today reading about this topic, and maybe I'm just getting dizzy, but I don't think anyone yet has provided a DIY for removing a locked SLU.

That's where I'm still confused: obviously the dealer does "something" to swap out the locked part with the new SLU. What is that "something", and why can't we do it?
