How do you remove the ignition cylinder???

[1FatPony]

I am trying to remove the ignition cylinder and I dont have the key for the ignition either. How do I do it? It seems like the little bump on the side is stopping it from comming out.

You need to be able to turn the lock to 'run' before that pin can be depressed (for obvious reasons).

How you accomplish that is your call. Good luck.

I had to pull the entire shaft,because the cylinder would not turn (possibly the tumbler wnet bad in the cylinder), pulled the bolt on the shaft under the hood. Then pulled the steering wheel, disconnected all attached plugs & the bolts holding the shaft at the dash. The shaft was then pulled up & out. I had to break the old cylinder & drill into the key slot, this allowed me to turn the key & push in the pin for removal. No damage was done to the shaft, installed the new cylinder & put everything back together. Started up the car with no problem.

I knew you had to turn it someway to get it out. I jsut drilled the little notch out and it came right out.

Glad you got it out.
