    Yeah, if you're successful, post pics & a how to...

    I'll email them over to the locksmith(s) that tried to remove mine, then drilled out my ignition mechanism (with my permission) so I could use a screwdriver as a key, thus allowing me to get home & to work the next day.

    Dunno if you saw this or not...

    OK. Took me two hours, but I did it. I had to remove steering column covers, remove lock cylinder snd re&re tumblers. BTW inspect keys - found crack, so before it happens again - get another key cut.
