not sure if it would be the best idea but i knwo some one used a dremel tool to cut it in the shape of a flat head screw driver and it came out with no problem.

Use a tap and die set. Drill it out a bit, it makes kinda a 'Allan key' shape (hex key). Thats what i did when I replaced my Ign.

i had the same problem my friend fortunately fixed it by using those really small screw drivers that you use to fix glasses with he took it out saved a trip to the lock smith we acutaly had the whole steering collum out at the time(was doing a 5 speed swap was installing the clutch pedal)

You took the steering collum out to do a 5 speed swap? lol

we had to install the clutch pedal (had to drill holes) read on here its 10x easier if you just take the steering collum off
