Update, everyone. IT IS LOOSE/FREE! I basically did what was discussed in the last post I made, as recommended by pnora. I used several different screwdrivers of varying sizes to progressively get behind the outer housing collar (between it and the next piece), and tapped and tapped and tapped...

Yes, by stabilize I basically mean what you are saying. Putting something between the two pieces of housing so that the outer one, that I am trying to remove, is more securely in place than it's current "loose and moving around a little" configuration. This should make for more effective...

Thanks for the advice. That is actually my plan for this morning. Mainly, restabilize the loose piece of housing and try to tap it AGAIN. I recognize what you guys say is theoretically supposed to happen. It simply hasn't happened thus far. Hadn't noticed that you are actually pretty close...

Thanks! I've given it a couple of taps more than a couple of times. Good to know there are NO anomalies that have ever occurred in mechanics. All my idiocy and incompetence, obviously. Thanks for lighting the way. I'm truly humbled. Will immediately cease to attempt anything on my own. Ordering...

I agree 100% about the locksmith. They ARE the REAL locksmith place in town, but also do glass and are a big business now. Apparently too many employees, and not enough locksmiths! I was VERY disappointed by the whole experience of dealing with them, but kind of have no other choice at this point.

If you'd recommend one in my area that you would trust for this job, I'd do it. But I'm a relatively accomplished shade tree mechanic that has always done better with my vintage toys than any shop I know around here. But if you've got a recommendation near 49829, please divulge!

I like it and have debated it. I know where a charger sits in a junkyard nearby. Never paid attention to the column, but may go make sure I can get parts off of it and just go at it. Thanks.

And I've done it. Multiple times. Got anything else for me?

Yes, upon closer inspection, that is NOT a place to access the push in release, but one of the screw holes where I removed a screw. DRAT! But thanks for trying. As I said, I do not need to know how to remove the key cylinder. That's the easy part. I need to know how to get to the point where I...

This is the most promising thing I've read yet, and was not mentioned ANYWHERE in any of the multitude of threads I've read nor in the videos I've watched. I'll try it in the morning. Fingers crossed and thanks for the input even if I can't get it that way!

Also have done that. I have several vintage Dodge based RV's. I've probably tried 8 keys. None worked. Thanks!

Not the problem. Read the whole question. Need to get to where I can access that push in pin.

Tried that. Bearing still holding everything together!

That was the FIRST thing I did. We supposedly have a real locksmith in town, but they ARE very busy. At first they told me they could NOT cut a key to match a cylinder. Then started asking for year make and model, but there was no number on the cylinder so they still couldn't do it. I insisted...

But you have to REMOVE that current piece of column collar to GET to the next step where you actually CAN push the little button and remove the key cylinder. I know how to remove the cylinder itself. I need help getting to that point! And I've read several places that say they should all be the...

Lost key. Storage building sold. Mother entering Dementia and need to get cars moved out of storage and back to handle some family care ASAP. Thought I had prepped well. Watched several videos about this process and read several forum threads on it. Of course, mine is not working like all the...

I HOPE this format for reposting this ad I made last summer is okay. I'm not super tech savvy, and it took me a long time to write this last ad, so hoping just sharing the link to the former ad is okay. 1973 Satellite 318, AT Appears to be original color (I don't know the code stuff well)...

Okay-that's all I'll post. I have more if you want to see them. Send a PM if you do. Thanks for looking.

More pics.

1973 Plymouth Satellite 318, AT, Pretty sure all original 92K thought to be original. Mainly parked inside last 20 or so years in Wisconsin Drives well currently-daily driver well, IMO, though bringing her back to life has brought out a few pinholes in top flat of radiator and in transmission...
