Sir, I have no idea where you learned to do this, and I don’t care. I want to thank you though, you saved me 250 dollars, well I paid 40 for the new cylinder so really 200. My daughter thanks you because she’s the one that lost the keys. Living in the sticks of Idaho I didn’t have access to picks etc but I beat welding rods into the shapes it looked like you had. Took me about 3 hours of trying, but about 1 hour into it I unlocked the steering wheel and that gave me hope to keep at it. Once I got to the start position I just wedged the old cylinder out with the screwdriver and slid the new one in. This is what the internet was ment for. Thanks again

You’re the man!! Thank you so much I’ve been using jigglers but I ended up using an old Chevy key and it worked!

Thanks. I lost the key to my son's truck and I've been trying for a day to get that out. Now I'll make a rake and be done.😅

Great information -- definitely making a mental note here. However, it's worth mentioning that for many modern GM cars (mid 90s on, last I checked) you can take your VIN number, and registration/proof of ownership to your local GM dealer and they'll look up the code and cut a new key for you (pricing varies wildly, I'm sure) -- Now, if the cylinder has been changed at some point, or you can't prove ownership and they decline the service, this procedure becomes a viable option, but it's certainly worth checking the dealer first.
