GeorgeW Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I just bought a rolling 1972 Dodge Charger without a Drivetrain. The keys are stuck in the ignition, they are turned over and wont come out. Any tips on how to get them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Plymouthy Adams Posted June 28, 2023 Solution Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 This is fairly common for this era...the holes for the tumblers are frayed over into the key way.....you can grip with a vice grip and tap on it....BUT you are going to need the key in to remove the cylinder for you are either going to dress the hole for a possible short term fix or best to replace the cylinder. If you wish, with the new lock you can key it the same as the original key and cylinder. You will need to tunr the key when you remove the steering wheel and access the cylinder retaining pin.

JerseyHarold Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 You have to remove the steering wheel and dismantle the column to get to the lock cylinder retaining pin. You don't need the key to depress the pin to remove the lock cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
