I think I managed to break my 1995 525t ignition lock cylinder today. The key rotates but the shaft to the actual switch doesn't. The Bentley manual simply says to insert a stiff wire into the cylinder and pull it out. Which I've tried with a stick pin and that didn't work.
I also have this antenna ring that mounts on the outside of the cylinder where the key gets inserted.
Does this antenna ring need to come out? Can the ring be pulled without some sort of special tool?
Any hints would be appreciated.
