Ignition Lock Cylinder stuck
Hey all,
I recently picked up a new kit that contains a new ignition lock cylinder and new door locks all keyed the same. I got the door locks installed and they work great, but now I'm having trouble with the ignition lock cylinder (specifically the existing one). I can't remove it for some reason. It is one that I replaced a couple years ago after the original one was getting stuck. I turn the key to Acc, push the paperclip in to depress the little detent and turn the key past Acc. However, the lock cylinder only comes out about a 1/4 inch and then gets caught up on something. Anyone have something similar happen to them? I shouldn't have to remove the bezel before taking the lock cylinder out right?
