Ignition Key Stuck in Position 3 200 1981

Hi,

Oh boy, you sure got some bumps on your pickle this morning. 🥴

I don’t know about having to pull the whole steering column at this point but I will bet the lock cylinder is pinned on one side somewhere around the perimeter of the aluminum casting.
That pin holds the entire lock cylinder. It will look like a dimple in the casting.

Maybe they have made in such a way as to make it hard to drill out. IE located between the space area towards the dashboard.
This would be a handy time for a small right angle drill attachment.

I’m trying to think of what has jammed the tumblers inside the slot so badly.
Have you tried lots of silicone spray to flush out any bits or shavings of worn tumblers?

Phil
