I just bought a diesel wagon 87 off of ebay and it supposidly needs a headgasket. Well that is not all it needs. I picked it up yesterday and it has a ignition problem!!!!

I have the panel torn apart and the previous owner took out the key lock assembly due to the key being stuck in the holder. I put the other key assembly in and the key will not turn. Steering column is locked and need to put in garage so I need to take it back out but cannot get the lock to retracted. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT.
