I lost the last key to my 97 ford ranger. So I drilled through the key hole like I was told but the drill bit broke off inside. So I drilled a bigger hole that the small pin goes through to make it big enough to pull the pin out. I pulled the pin that is supposed to be the only thing that holds into place out. It will giggle but wont move but about a 1/4 inch out what should I do? Please help

You might be able to extract the but with a coping saw blade. You gring the back side of the blade to a gradual point.
