RE: igniton lock cylinder

You will need one.

GM has them for sure.

I got mine changed out for 75 bucks. If a lock smith can remove it for 35 then a mech can put one in for labor cost if you buy the part.

30-50 for a new lock. takes minutes to put in. 1 hour minimum labor at most places.

This page illustrates one way to remove the pivot pins without the special tool. It illustrates a Fiero tilt column but it should be very similar to your cars. Rigging up some kind of a slide hammer could work too.

It would go faster with the tool and it is not expensive, and there is less risk.

I recommend the tool as it saves time there for money.

Well I was thinking this morning at work along that line, but I always cover my arse.

I was trying to think up a way to grabe it flush.
