Ignition switch needed replaced. Instead of having it fixed, she used some type of metal clip to turn the ignition over. Her interior lights, radio, dash gadgets wouldn't turn off. Today when she went to start her car, she can't turn the key at all. i have everything apart that needs to be apart but I can't get the cylinder out of the housing to put the new switch in. Any help would be greatly grealty appreciated.
