Yes the end would wiggle, I never tried pulling the rod out from the back but I thought about it.

Spraying and tapping the housing did finally allow me to get the key inserted and extend the rod.

I have a graphite spray that has a solvent like carrier that evaporates leaving the graphite. Do you think that's a good idea? I also have a PTFE spray that sets up like a grease, not sure grease is a good idea?

The key hung up in the tumbler and would not not go in a few times but I kept working it to the point I think whatever was in there was at least dislodged now and not causing problems.

Now I need to reassemble the mess I created and hope it doesn't happen again.

Thanks
Dan

Update
It's hit and miss as to the tumbler working so I think I need to replace or get repaired . Do you think a locksmith can do this with the lock installed?
