start taking apart the steering column and take apart the ignition switch, after that you can take it with a screwdriver

try and get a new key cut, or the mechanical part of ur ignition system went bad

its not that hard to install if you have a manual, just have to drop the steering column covers.

go to hondaautomotiveparts.com they have good prices on it

also the ignition switch itself is held by 2 bolts and remove the 5-pin & 7-pin connector. that's it.
