1992 190E, trying to replace ignition tumbler, pins in, tumbler won't come out

My tumbler started acting up in the last times I drove the car so I did the smart thing and ordered a new one. I made the pin tool thing with a coathanger that I ground down to about 1.8-2mm. Now I can stick the pins inside the tumbler, I can feel the pawl unlock, but when I try to pull the tumbler out it comes out about 1mm and jams there. Then, if I remove the pins and push back on the tumbler just a little bit, I can hear and feel it click back in place. I've been trying to remove this part all afternoon.

Now I'm scared that if I remove the key I might not ever be able to turn it again... Help!?
