5kt ignition switch/lock

[DGraber460 at aol.com]

I recently posted a problem with the ignition switch on a 5kt. I received 
many good responses as to how to deal with it. Thanks much, and you know who 
you are.
Now I have pulled a spare (drilling the sheer pin to get the entire lock 
mechanism) from a boneyard, and have drilled the small hole so as to enable 
removing the cylinder. So far so good.
Now I can't see how to remove the lock (key) portion from the actuating rod. 
The part didn't come with a key, so I need to re-key or swap tumblers. My 
other Audi keys will fit into the slot, pushing the actuator rod forward, but 
still no visible keepers or such. Anyone BTDT?
TIA

PS When having your grandson (age 2 yrs.) help wash the cars (bonding time 
and such), make sure they don't leave your sight for even an _instant_. They 
just might take a rock and wash the other car in the garage just like you're 
doing. Been a bad day!
