Ok I finally got it out. Damn, what a pain.... but its out anyway and it turns out, my ignition cylinder is not bad afterall. its this tiny piece that connects the ignition cylinder to the electrical switch behind it that broke. I retrieved it and took some pics of it. Where can I buy this piece and what is it called ? Should i just goto the dealer or should i just have this piece welded up ? another funny thing was, I couldnt find the broken-off part, but I dont really care .....
