Re: Repairs- snapped key removal

["Stephen Card" <stephen@xxxx>]

Yes, a locksmith should be able to remove the broken piece of the 
key. There are special tools for extracting the broken end. You can 
try picking up a very small jig saw blade or dremmel bit (use both 
as hand tools) at the hardware store. Try to get next to the key 
and "catch" the edge to pull it out.
You may try lubricating the key cylinder to allow for easier 
extraction.
Hope this helps,

> 1. As I stated before, I bought my car with one half of the 
ignition key broken off in the switch. I use the half-key to start 
the car. I hate this. -IS- it possible for a locksmith to dig that 
piece out of there?
