Help...broken key in ignition

[fresh_TD]

I don't see either method going over well, especially if it's in there pretty deep.

When I was 16 I worked for a locksmith as a summer job. I remember seeing him use these key extractors to get it out. Basically he stuck em in there, twisted each handle a few times and out the key came. Here's somewhere you can get em from

Either that or you can call a locksmith and they'll remove the key for you. Probably cost $100 though.

I'm trying to avoid paying $100 for this, or whatever it may cost me ;-)

Is it totally flush with the cylinder, or can you grab it at all? I'd try the tiny needle nose pliers

I'll check once I get home from work..this happened last night so I didn't bother with it then

What position is the key in? If it is in the first then you should be able to pop the whole lock out. Otherwise, try to pry it out using two small, but strong pins or allen wrench.

The key was just in there..I guess number 1? Steering wheel is locked..I'll take a look again to see if there's any portion sticking out that I can grab with pliers or something.. how about the glue method?

Very small pair of needle nose pliers?

tiny drill bit. you affectively try to catch the missing section with the bit (by hand) and then pull it out
