Default old iginition switch won't turn? PROBLEM SOLVED

Well I am trying to take out my old ignition switch but unfortunately The switch will not turn so... How do I disengage it to remove the cylinder so I can remove the bezel ultimately enabling me to remove the switch???[&:] This sucks I may just go mad and drill that junk out!

I even broke off my original set of keys trying to turn the cylinder to the on and off position?...[sm=badbadbad.gif]

how long did you fiddle with it? it took me a long time but eventually it just came out like it was supposed to... I would just wiggle the paperclip or whatever while turning the key... also, you could try loading it up with wd40 to make everything move better.

good luck.
