It’s crazy how the component that holds the ignition cylinder in place is like
Permanently bolted to The steering column with bolts that you can’t unscrew...

.
Any ideas you guys?....

Poster above me did not read the FIRST post in the thread! Too long ago to help them now. Maybe they figured it out.

Thanks for the thread. It saved me today. Fixed mine for free with these directions.

I did not grind my tabs off completely. I ground them thin, then i used a small punch on them while supporting the tumbler on a socket. That pushed the face off and when i put it back on, i smashed the little nubs down like a rivet,,,just like toyota did. Take the face off without drilling the pin. Push pin to the outside and it is easy to reinstall, then push pin back in.

None of this matters really. The trim would not let the face come off anyway once it is all back together.

Thanks for everyone that contributed to this post! Can we get some links to tumblers and kill switches that work?

Done. If you dont have the immobilizer chip I would put in a new cylinder but since I do I am down to 3 wafers. had to do some filing on them and the inside of the cylinder. It was pretty torn up. but it works easy now.

Maybe. But that post raised a good question: if you wanted to grab an ignition cylinder from a junkyard, how would you remove it, short of drilling out the pin?

Why would you want an ignition cylinder with no key to go with it?

Well, if you figure out how to rekey them, as I just did today (write-up coming soon), .. well, that's the answer.

I don't see why you wouldn't just rekey/refresh your current ignition cylinder, but to each their own. If it was me I would get a new ignition cylinder and rekey the doors to match that.
