Hey there everybody, I'm having a problem. The lock cylinder in my steering column is screwed up pretty bad. I can't even get the key to turn over. This is such a dumb problem to keep me from driving my Jeep! Anyway, I got the wheel off with a homemade puller , Then was able to get the lockplate off with another homemade device. I got the turn signal switch out and was feeling great about myself until I got up to this point. I can't get the lock cylinder out! My book says to stick a screwdriver through the hole next to the turn signal mounting boss to release the retaining pin. . . Should the cylinder pull out of the column? I've stuck the screwdriver in every hole and wiggled the cylinder every which way and I just can't get the thing out. Please help me. Anything would be appreciated, thanks.
