Thanks for everyone's advice. I got the new key to turn to the "remove" position. I could not get the tumblers to release with the wire tool. I tried several times to get the face plate to turn with a screwdriver and a hammer. Then I decided to go in the house to review the procedure. While I am doing that, 2 minutes later my son-in-law comes in with a grin on his face and the tumbler set in his hand. He had spent more time trying to get it out in the last week than I did. So, he was more frustrated. He just hit it harder than I had.

The problem was that the steering lock paw had broken off and jammed at the rear of the assembly. The new set is in and he now has 2 keys.
