Could you please explain to me how to remove and replace my ignition. Or is there some trick to getting the ignition to turn back and remove key?

If the key doesn't turn, it sounds like the tumbler has gone bad. To get to it, you need to remove the steering wheel (if equipped with an air bag, have it done by a professional). After that, you will need to remove a small portion of the steering column to access the tumbler assembly.

You may want to get a repair manual to help guide you. It also will require a wheel puller to remove the steering wheel.

Step 1 - All vehicles have a steering wheel lockout safety device that will not allow the steering wheel to turn when the key is in the "OFF" position.
