I dont have the key for the shell i'm reshelling into and need to get the car rolling tomorrow.
I have another ignition barrel and key but need to get the old one out which will be a problem without the key.

Anyone know of a way to remove the barrel without a key?
Probably best to message me if you can help.

Thanks

Jake, try any old E30 keys you’ve got, old worn keys and an old worn barrel help a lot - I got an old e12 rolling recently with the same method.
