My searching here found posts telling me how to make the ignition lock removal tool, which I have done. I now have the tool in the lock, it feels like it has pushed the pawl out of the way but the tumbler won't come out. Do I have to remove the black steel bezel or does that come out with the tumbler? Do I need to do something else? I have a new tumbler and I see how the "tool" is supposed to work, but I can't get it to work on my old tumbler. I want to get this done before my lock will no longer turn I have resorted to leaving the key in the car and locking it with a seperate key. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
