ESL Steering lock motor replacement *lots of pics*

Hi everyone, I own a W204 C200 Kompressor with 155k KM on the clock so I'm thinking this is probably the main priority to sort out as it seems to be a ticking time bomb.
Apart from getting someone to program the emulator, is there any other way to permanently disable the ESL so that I don't have the steering lock function but the rest of the car starts and works as normal? Is there a mechanical way to disable it once I take the ESL module out of the steering column?

I have purchased an emulator and believe it to be the best course of action for these vehicles. And it is a heck of a lot easier to intall it before you have the failure, at least if it is going to fail in the locked position as it did for my car.
