Re: 2003 Impala Ignition Stuck, Please help

I had the lock rebuilt. The guy at the lock repair shop said the tumblers were completely worn down and ruined. The key turns great now! That isn't the problem now though. When I was taking apart the ignition, these little gold pins and springs (picture 1) flew out. I think they go in holes with springs behind them but I can't seem to assemble it. I numbered the holes in case someone knows (picture 2). Does anyone have a repair manual link or a picture of how to correctly assemble this thing? I have 5 gold pins and 4 springs. I imagine that will be a problem. There are three large parts:

a) the black plastic housing that the lock goes inside (picture 3, back shown)

b) white thing with a large metal spring that goes between parts a and c (pictures 4 and 5)

c) white thing with holes for stupid gold pins and springs that I'm not sure what to do with (picture 6)
