Hi everyone
I have a 1977 camaro that Im trying to change the ignition key, but i got a little stuck in the process....
i can't seem to be able to remove the ignition cylinder, in the instruction it talks about pushing a pin but i can't seem to find it in my car...it say that once i pull the pin the cylinder should just come out, i tried almost everything i can do but still can seem to remove it.
if anyone could help it would be greatly apreciated.....
here are some pictures if it helps anyone:

In the area within the white circle is a part where the metal is thin. Use a small screwdriver to punch through this thin metal "window". Using the screwdriver, press down on the anchor and pull the cylinder straight out. The new one simply pops in. The hole you created with the screwdriver is fine left as is.
