OK guys,

My brother has a problem with his car. The key wont turn in the ignition and 
this prevents me from removing the lock cylinder as it needs to be in the 
run position for me to remove it......Is their any way to remove this god 
forsaken thing?

My brother might be selling his beloved 97 because of this frustrating 
problem. I tried to yank the wheel in both directions but this did not work.

The key just doesnt turn in the ignition. This all stemmed from someone 
trying to steal his car. They drilled the ignition and messed up the 
original lock cylinder. My brother was able to get it out but he had to 
drill it out and it took forever.

He now has a new Borg Warner lock cylinder he got from autozone and now all 
of a sudden it stays locked. We still have an issure of getting the car 
started but i beleive thats because of the PATS situation these cars have. 
Nontheless....the new cylinder is locked in there and the key doesnt 
turn.... WE didnt want to drill out this new one as it cost 80dollars for 
that godforsaken part. It is so frustrating to me and its not even my car...

Someone please tell me their is a way to remove this thing without damaging 
it.......again the key does not turn in the column....


Thanks In Advance.....Anyone want a 97 SHO in silver for cheap? Just needs a 
lock cylinder....hahah
