My ignition cylinder is starting to stick so I want to get it replaced before it locks up and will need major attention. I can get the switch to position #1, but cannot seem to remove the cylinder. I have made a tool from a hanger, with the pointed ends as discussed on threads here. Thy seem to insert OK, but cylinder will not pop out.

The threads are a bit confusing, with some saying you only need to insert on top hole, some say both. Some threads say you have to turn the outer black ring CCW once tool is inserted, some say the cylinder should just pop out. A bit confused and looking for some clear direction on this model. I am guessing that this should not require much force, if any.

Thanks for the help, guys!
