Default re: Sticky Ignition Key Fix for all Crossfires 2004 thru 2006

I literally just finished doing mine. Key was stuck had to drill/dremel pin out. FIRST IF USING DREMEL GET A TUNGSTEN BIT. I went though 2 grinding wheels and tried a drill. Once I got a tungsten bit it took me 10 minutes, as opposed to 2 hours of ^%$%%$# around. After that just follow the instructions it's very straightforward. FYI The PIN that drops out isn't just a pin shape. It's a pin with a base that comes out. The spring in mine just fell out so didn't lose an eye. Seriously DO THIS BEFORE YOUR IGNITION LOCKS AND SAVE AGGREVATION. One other thing, there is a trim bit held in place on the steering coloum with a couple springs. Mine fell off while grinding. Any idea how to hook them back up? I will probably just tape them in place. I think they are for the telescoping steering wheel. Unless you 4 feet tall I assume you leave it all the way in.
