Ignition

Ok someone stuck a screwdriver in my ignition trying to start it and I cant get my key in there. I bought a replacement ignition but i cant get the other one out without having the key in there in the run position. Is there any other way to get it out besides drilling the whole lock cylinder out?

Probably not, looks like you may have to drill it out. I have replaced the one in my 93 and yes the key has to be in the run position and pushing it the little tab under the colomn.
But on that same note, if it is already screwed up why not go ahead and break in internally and then turn it to run, you can probably do this with a screw driver.

use a slide hammer some how, I guess you just screw in to the key hole and slam it down and the ignition will pop out, you can learn a lot from a professional car theif!
