PROBLEM WITH 89 C4 CORVETTE LOCK CYLINDER
So yesterday i was driving to superstore and after parking the Vette, I couldnt turn the key to turn it off. After a massive panic episode i drove to the warehouse by my works main office looking for help from the warehouse guys. After a lot of hassle they got the key out. We decided to try the second set of keys just to see if there is any difference. It only made things worse. Now the key is jammed in the run position and we had to disconnect the battery to turn it off. Now the Vette is sitting at the warehouse with the key stuck in the ignition. but at least its locked and has a club on the steering wheel. i need to get it out of there ASAP.
I called a locksmith and he said it would be a 4 hour job and run $700 to change the cylinder and make new keys. I called B.S. and did some research. I found this place Corvette Parts & Accessories from Mid America Motorworks, 866.350.4540 that has the cylinders and keys. also Instructions on how to remove the steering wheel and replace the lock cylinder.
I dont mind buying a wheel puller and what not. Those are way cheaper than giving $700 to a scam artist.
My first question is..... how the hell do you get a V.A.T. key out of the ignition?
