A word of warning. There are several waffers inside the cylinder of the lock. When you pull the shaft out be careful that the tool you make fits good enough to turn all the waffers at once. In other words make it long enough to go all the way through to the bottom. Also make sure the shaft is all the way in before you turn it or you will get the waffers out of sync.

I know this because once when I out one back it was not all the way in and when I turned it it moved all the waffers except the bottom ones and I had a mess. It took me several days of trial and error plus a service manual to get it back like it was supposed to be.

The way around this is to match the length of the tool to the length of the ignition switch rod. 3 1/4" worked out great for me. I believe there are only two cams (for lack of a better word) down there that can get out of order. A friend had the same thing happen to him. After a few hours of him messing with it he called me. Five minutes it was fixed. The cams were 180* from each other.
