Ignition lock cylinder for a 2001 saturn L100

How do you remove the ignition lock cylinder on a 2001 saturn L100 car? I can't get it out and the key won't turn at all.

Most times there is a pin that is depressed when the lock cylinder is in the run position. Not sure if the steering wheel needs to be removed or just the plastic housing. I would recommend purchasing a manual for the exact procedure. Either a Haynes or Chilton should have what you need. Airbags can be explosive. :)

Have you tried turning the steering wheel both ways. Sometimes that is all it take. It can require some muscle tho.

Good luck and let us know.
