I work maintenance for an apartment complex. tennants break keys off in locks off all of the time. I have a key extractor but before that i would use a straightened up paper clip and use needlenose pliers to bend just the very end down a little and sneak it up past the key in the tumbler and snatch it out.

Well got everything working again. Ended up pulling out the ignition thanks to the help of tadempsey808. He pretty much talked me through the whole thing. I really appreciate everyone trying to help out and letting me know my options. Thanks again everyone.

What a forum. I've never come across a forum or a group of members like this before. Jeepers are good people
