Need some help...
My key won't turn in the ignition. Well, it does, but the key has to be in like halfways or something, I don't know where exactly, just that I've managed to turn it on like 3 times out of 20. Tried jiggling the wheel, neutral and moving it and jiggling the wheel, nothing. I was wondering two things-
Any easy fixes? If not, where is the cheapest place for an ignition switch? Actually, three: Are they easy to install?

Is the key worn out? If not then most likely the ignition switch is, I had same issues but my key was worn to nothing and you had to like move the key up and down to get it turned. I got a new switch from ebay make sure you get the right one for your steering column size. And they are pretty simple to install, at least I found it to be.

I took out the key cylinder, and there seems to be a pin that I need to push to open it. I can't seem to open it, and Kragen only sells the inside of the cylinder... What should I use to open it?
