OK, I finally did the sticky key fix and it went well...only because of the great tutoriol done by Rekcah. Had to use the vicegrips to get the tumbler assy out and had my fingers crossed I had not screwed it up. Cars starts great and the key comes out smooth as silk! My question is on the BAS ESP light that has shown up when I put the negative terminal back on. My guess is someone has already answered this one but I could not find it in the search option. Thanks group,

Start the car and turn the steering wheel to the left and then right....or drive it and the light will go off (apparentley)

 

With the car running, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right and then back to center - that should clear that warning light. That warning light will sometimes light after you have had the battery disconnected for a while.

Hope this helps.
