Thanks for the replies, everybody. I put it all back together that night (without any oil except what the PB blaster left, but I dried the parts with a towel after toothbrushing them clean. I haven't put it back in the car yet, but the key still does not seem to want to turn. Maybe I put one of the tumblers in the wrong spot, but it's doing the same as before I took it apart. I was wondering if I just turned the lock a quarter turn to the left when I reassemble it if that would work (??) Anyway, I guess I'll be sending off for a new one. I pretty much mangled the cover before I found the "easy" way to get in there. Somebody mentioned that you can call the dealer and have one made to fit your key when you had replacement keys made. It hurts to even imagine what the dealer wants for that!
