Hi.

My 1996 Omega ignition barrel broke down last friday and after hours of fiddeling my frustration topped out and i picked up a screwdriver...
Long story short..

New barrel is ordered to fit my keys but i have to get the old barrel out.
Found this post http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90590.0 but the obvious error here is that i dont have the possibility to use my key.

Any tips, drawings or other solutions on how to get out the broken barrel?

if no key will fit only thing can think of is drill it out but have to be carefull you dont drill the out ring were lock fits or you need new steering lock assembly.

Thnx for the reply.
Im not familiar with how the lock barrel and assembly looks like inside. (Im a nurse, not a mechanic )

Anyone have links to any video or pics/drawing of the barrel/assembly?

there is another way, lock barrel remover, key type fits in lock turn and hit top with hammer pulls lock strate out. you never know some one on her maybe able to help, there are alot of tiny bits in a lock.

Thnx all of you.
Finaly had the old barrel removed and the new one arrived today.
Was actually eaysier then i thought, but hey.. Im still a nurse, not a mechanic. 
Ironicly all my old keys worked, but the new key that came with the barrel did not.. Guess ill have to string up the salesguy tomorrow.
