How do you depress the pin to remove an ignition cylinder on a ford focus?
I had to drill out my ignition cylinder because my key would not turn. I'm now trying to replace the ignition cylinder (the key turns now) but I can't seem to depress the tab! I've used a bunch of things but the tab is metal and won't seem to budge! Any suggestions? Thanks!
It seems to be stuck, because the tab won't budge...how much pressure do you usually have to use to depress it?

A straightened paper clip has always worked for me on Ford ignition cylinders. A hair pin should also do the trick.

You have to turn the ignition switch to the run position before the tab can be pushed up.. Once you have pushed it up, pull out on the switch...

Tried it in the ON position?
If you drilled the crap out of it, it might have some metal shavings in there-
