from what I have read here in the forum.....it seems best to do all possible to actuate the key.....and the only other recourse is to drill out the tumblers!!!

To remove the tumbler, you have to be able to turn the ignition switch to position 1. Otherwise, you have to drill it out.

I have both set of directions on Word documents. If you will PM me with your email address, I'll send you both.
