Default Unlock steering wheel with no power?

Is there any way to unlock the steering wheel if the car has no power?

It is a 2007 GS350.

I need to move the car but have no power to use the key.

Thanks,
Bryan

Sorry dude, not without removing the steering lock actuator, and that is a very lengthy process including drilling out "break off bolts". It's would be exponentially faster to hook up a jump box, or jumper cables.

Thanks for the response.

I already disconnected all the electrical on my motor. I wasn't thinking abou that.
I guess I could disconnec the steering linkage and turn the wheels by hand, or put a jack under the rear diff and tun the car that way.

Bummer...thanks again.

The shift lock can be easily released though...right?

Why not put the battery back in and turn the wheel? Shouldnt bother anything with things unplug with the motor.
