Ignition Cylinder Issues
EDITED for those who don't know model codes off the top of their head:
1998 Honda Civic
D16Y7 Engine
217k miles
Alrighty folks mechanically bone stock EJ6 (ignoring the head unit and some necessary body work post collision and recent windshield replacement related body work) has a problem with the ignition cylinder. Issue is the damn thing jammed and wouldn't turn the key past the initial position (i.e. 0 or whatever the one when you first put the key in). Since I know the correct way to slide a WORKING cylinder out I got a replacement unit from the local pick and pull but unfortunately the key to my current jammed one was misplaced about a week ago along with the rest of the key ring (apt key, building key, etc)....at which point I found out that the shop that was subcontracted to do my body work last month decided to keep the spare key I gave them to move the car around while there !!!!!
Is there ANY way to get the cylinder out so that I can slide the replacement in without my key barring calling a locksmith?
