I have purchased a new tumbler & can now see the dentens (the new one has 2 holes, but only one denten), but the old one just won't budge.

I can't imagine how the hardened cap around the tumbler is held in, thus how releasing the tumbler releases the cap.

I now know the length at which point the tool reaches the denten(s) 1.25". Without seeing the tumbler, I figured 1.75", but this is well beyond the point & the resistence that I'm seeing here must be at the switch.

Once the tumbler / cap is out, does the tumbler turn out 90 degrees or something like that.

I just hate to think the pricey locksmith is going to be charging me for the same struggles that I've faced.

Ideas?

Thanks again - Mark
