I finally got the tumbler out... but it took some doing. I took a grinder and cut the black housing cap from around the tumbler.

My thanks to everyone who gave me advice... all was helpfull and kept me going in a very frustrating situation.

I did not have to replace the total ignition assembly.

Smiles.
