broken off tip, deep in the ignition, past 1st tumbler.

I have a pro here, but he can't find a retainer pin to remove the whole ignition.

anyone replace one yet or have any idea? :confused

Guess I'll call AAA again, otherwise.

blimey.

there's not a retainer clip...there is a small hole that you insert a paperclip in and the ignition pops out....then you can push the key bit out from the back side

Thanks a bunch for the tip!

q: does the ignition have to be turned into a certain position?

-- not sure which we're in anymore.

found the hole, but the ignition won't turn
& the kid left.

He was pretty frustrated from the beginning. Even though we fed him cookies, carrots and cold juice. ;D

waiting until tomorrow for AAA to send another shop.

Grind down a hacksaw blade to a point and use the teeth to pull the broken piece out.

another good idea.

thanks, Layne.

the update:

success, at last.

A locksmith-punk with young, keen eyes fished it out.

Thanks for the help here, all. You too, Curt.

should've tipped him more than $10, huh?
