how do I rekey Ignition lock tumbler

Hey guys.. Drilled out the cast in pin and the tumbler wont pull out with the key in place.. I've done this plenty of times on the door locks.. Only one obvious cast in plug.. unless I need to pull the huge plug on the side any help appreciated

No instructions available except for a slight mention in the 101 projects book...anyone done this?

there's a small steel pin that needs to come out. just below the threaded section. problem is, there's no way to grab it. drilling a tint hole right next to it and using a sharp awl to lever it out is one way, then use epoxy to hold it in later.

Thanks again John.. Wish I lived on that coast where most of the Porsche people are...

I took my ignition and door locks to a locksmith and had them all rekeyed to match each other for less than $25.

more than likely they just rekeyed it to the ignition key.. that means they only had to do the door locks to match that key..

thats a possibilty. all three were different, made them all go to one key.
