I just replaced my ignition lock cylinder, but there are two pins on the ignition that are stuck. What can I use to clean them and hopefully get them unstuck? I don't have the money to buy anything so is there any household cleaner I can use?

Hi,

Are you referring to the internal pins in the lock cylinder? If so, try using something like WD40. Spray some in the cylinder and let it sit for a bit. Then, see if you can gently work the key into the lock.

Take a look at step 4 in this link and let me know if it helps:

Let me know.
