hammer and chisel? or tried spraying wd40 and wiggling it around? or worst case pull the cover off and hammer and chisel the factory headless bolts off, remove the barrel and see if that does it? |

I had a similar problem with this corolla I have. The key was that worn away that I could remove the key with the car still running, one day it decided not to come out and it wouldn't turn at all, I sprayed WD into it but still nothing. Then I got thunking on how the ignition barrel or pad lock works, obviously pins have to move in in order for it to work. I pushed up and it slid out after a couple of jiggles. I got a new key cut but still had the same issue, obviously the new key was based on the worn key. Again, wouldn't come out or anything. After about an hour of fart arsing around I ended pushing the key up and managed to turn the barrel to ign, at that point I had pretty much most of the steering column pulled apart. A quick Youtube lerned me how to remove the barrel. just a matter of pushing in a pin with the right size centre punch out out it slid. I replaced the barrel along with the door locks to suit the same key. I hope this trick helps you out. |

Ozspray (or Candan industries) is a lanolin based product much like Inox, except this stuff, also known as woolube, goes tacky and sticks rather than staying like a lubricant. its a fantastic rust inhibitor |
