When I want to pull the ignition key out at my spacestar it is nearly impossible: I have to move it in all directions, rattle it around, yerk an twist it. After some time I am able to pull it out (takes me sometimes more than 5 minutes).
I applies some oil to the lock: seemed to help a little. Tried the second (nearly unused) key: Took me ten minutes to get the key out again.

Would be glad for a hint!

Thanks in advance.

OK! Glad to find it myself: There is a L-shaped latch in the lock cylinder. It´s task is that you have to push the key into the lock when switching from ACC to LOCK state.
This latch is broken. (Finally I couldn´t turn the key anymore: no start or stop).
Removed the pieces of the latch: Now I can turn from ACC to STOP without pushing the key into the lock. I will investigate tomorrow about the availability of a spare part for the lock. (Doesn´t think I will get it).

Thanks to everyone

Peter
