    Unhappy Ignition problem

    I just installed a ignition barrel in my vr acclaim. It was turning but when I took the key out it locked up and I can't turn the key. I need to turn the key to take it back out but I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas???

    Tap it gently on the side....use a small hammer and take it easy....many taps may be needed. Make sure the steering lock is not engaged (wheel moves freely?)

    Also try pushing the key in when turning.
