Does anyone know how to remove Ignition cylinder from a s13? I broke the tip of my key in it....and need to take it apart to get it out. I have a spare.
 
you gotta use like a chisel and hammer and make a flat groove in it and then just use a flat end screw driver and take out the 2 bolts.
 
The bolts used for the igniton switch are breakaway bolts, at a certain torqe spec they break locking them, what i ussually do is ither make a groove in them and used a flat head to screw them out, you MUST buy new ones, or you can just drill them out carefully, not hard at all.

Another technique is too drill a small in it and hammer in a small torx bit into to and then just ratchet it off.
 
what i did was used a small dremmel and chisselled a groove into the bolt and used a flat head and unscrewed it, then repeated the process for the new cylinder
