Hey.\
im having a problem with my ignition. I cant turn my key. And I was wondering if I can just take the guts out of it and do something with it or shauld I just go and by a new one. And if I can take the guts out.(Thats were you put your key in) how do I take it out? Thanck. :OP. Wile I was reading the other questions. I saw an other honda that had an ignition problem too. Its was an 1989 do. And you told him or her that you can take it out by pushing the spring pin on the housing. Is that to take the gut out. Thats what I call it. Anyways.

Hi juls007,

The key cylinder can be removed by pressing the pin only when it is in the ACC position.

Does jiggling the key and turning the steering slightly away from the locked position helps?
