Odd Problem?

[RichPorter]

I have a 93 Sentra that was given to me. It's in good condition but the problem is, half of the key is stuck in the ignition. I guess that's why I got it for free. I don't have a replacement key, I only have the other half of the original. I can't get the other half out of the ignition. Any suggestions? Help? Please.

melt some solder onto a paperclip tip, then while its still liquid push it up to the key half and let it cool, then pull it out....

I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

no problem dude, if that doesnt work you may need to contact a dealership or a rebuild manual and figure out how to remove the locking mechanism and extract the key that way

Go to a locksmith. There is a tool that looks like a pipe cleaner that will pull the rest of the key out for you. Most will do it for free.

or you can just buy a new ignition lock cylinder for like 20 bucks...
