Please help!! Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement
My daughter's 96 Pontiac Sunfire's ignition key will not turn. We have tried moving the steering wheel, gearshift, and rocking the car. Is there a trick to removing and replacing the lock cylinder? I was told a bolt has to be broken and drilled out, is this true? If this is true, which one?

you guys deviated from the...
...original thread.
to the original poster...if you are fairly mechanically inclined and have patience and some specialty tools like torx screwdrivers...lock cylinders aren't too bad. my advice would be to get hold of the service procedures and any pictures so you can identify the parts correctly. try your local library
