Thanks guys for all of the new info.. I feel that maybe I can do this my self and save my self some money. Does anyone have a link to this DIY repair?

I found the parts I need on line..I think..

1. Ignition Lock & Tumbler; With Keys $16.71
2. Ignition Lock Housing; Ignition Lock Shield - Heavy Black Metal Cover Over Tumbler $16.91

Question: Should I get this last part? Can I remove the Ignition lock and Tubler and replace it with out having to replace the Lock housing unit?

3.Ignition Lock Housing; Without Key and Tumbler $121.55
