    The spring inside had come apart and was not letting it release! Cut it open.

    I just let a mechanic pop mine out! I took out the old and walked it over to him with the new, and let him do it. They are a real pain in the ### as you are experiencing.

    A dealer can look up your key code with the last 6 of your vin. Any decent locksmith will be able to make you a key for about $10 with this key code. That's how we do it here.

    Yes I tried this but eventually the key didn't work because the locks were probably switched out before.So I purchased a new set of door locks and ignition key tumbler but was wondering how to remove the tumbler without having the actual key ...Thanks for the info...
