How to replace a 93 MH Barina ignition barrel
Somebody broke into my car and wrecked the ignition barrel, drivers door barrel, the interior door handles and used a bolt cutter to cut a 4 inch piece of the steering wheel so they could get the steering lock off. Anyway I now can't get the key into the ignition and I want to know if there's a way I can replace the ignition barrel without the key or do I need to rip the barrel out with brute force. any help is appreciated

Take it to the dealer. for the fix or get the FSM on car and read
all the complex steps on doing that. RTM.
1993? no air bags right, (they can be dangerous to any mechanci)
pull the steering wheel off.
then remove the tamper bolts from key lock assembly.
then put in a new lock.
once the keyassemlbe is out , take it to any key/lock shop and
ask him/her to fix it, if they cant, then buy a new one.
if you want to hot wire the car, get the FSM, and use that and its
schematics to see if you can do it, if not. ask a qualified, autoelectric
shop to do it.
if the key switch has locking steering feature, like all here(usa)
do not let it fail, is it might lock while driving. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. Safety first, no>?
