Hi stepie82,

Did you try turning the steering wheel left or right before attempting to turn the ignition ley?

To replace the key cylinder you need to have the ignition turned to ACC and then push a spring pin on the housing to release and pull the key cylinder out.

If not, you need to replace the lock assy.
