I lost my keys and in desperation I used some key like implements to try and start the car. Those didn't work and now i found my keys but seems to have gotten something stuck in the key hole. I think I will need to replace the ignition cylinder but until then I need to drive to work. Can I remove the cylinder without being able to insert the key?
What makes this problem better or worse?
I have really gone at it trying to remove the piece stuck inside and trying to remove the cylinder

RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
usually you have to be able to turn the key to remove the cylinder. You may have to drill it out which is not a fun job. If that's the case you'll also need an ignition switch along with the lock cylinder.
