My key broke off in the ignition ,how do i remove the lock cylinder
Just an idea - could save a hell of a lot of time and money, but it depends how the key snapped if you can get the glue to stick...
you can put a tiny drop of crazy/super glue on the snapped part of the key, put it in the lock and make it so its perfectly touching the key, you can take the old bit of key out of the lock when it sticks and have a locksmith make you a new key from the two bits... cheaper than an ignition barrell.
use the tiniest speck of glue possible, use a hair or whisker to get a tiny drop of glue onto the key, put it in the same way round it snapped off so the two faces mate together properly - after 2 minutes pull out the key, if it is stuck give it a wiggle and still pull...
any glue that gets in the lock can be removed with nail varnish remover (acetone)
Dont know about how to remove the cylinder sorry...
Hi Malcolm Boagey, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
The plastic housing has a piece broken off where the metal part inserts.The plastic housing is bound together with tape and the key still works but a replacement is incredibly expensive.The car will need to be reprogrammed.
