Rounded off drain plug

Wonder if just the right amount (tiny amt) of super glue on broken key would hold long enough to pull it out?

I don’t think it’s broken. Just stuck.

I’ve since got the key out. The cylinder still won’t turn. The cylinder has to turn to take it out in one piece. Otherwise you could carry a new cylinder with a key and jerk the plastic off and be underway in your stolen vehicle in 5 minuets. ( you can bust the cylinder out and still be under way pretty quick )

This has worked for me in the past: Penetrating oil, vise grips and light taps with a slide hammer.

Did you fabricate that? That's a useful device!

Did you do the WD40/tapping/turning thing in the video?

No, I’m not smart enough for that. The vise grip adapter came with the slide hammer.

No it came out with less drastic measures but the lock cylinder is still stuck.

I think he turned the cylinder in his video?
