    Removing the steering lock assembly is a very difficult job. I strongly recommend that you take your registration and driver's license to the dealership and order a new key.

    Certainly a new key would be the easy thing to do that’s for sure

    Put a floor jack under the aluminum stiffening plate, or the front subframe and jack the wheels up.
