Well......I went the "easy" route. I didn't remove the cylinder. Just sprayed a good amount of 3-In-1 lock lubricant in the tumbler section then used several firm bristle pipe cleaners to pull out whatever junk had collected in my 20 year old Boxsters lignition lock. Surprisingly, very very little (if any) brass filings came out....lots of dark colored stain on the pipe cleaner but not much else. One slight issue I couldn't resolve was to get the little "door", that covers the key slot to snap shut. It eventually closes about 1/2 way so I'm guessin the spring mechanisim is shot.
My goal was to make the key turn easier in cold weather......but the good thing for me is the car is pretty much stored in the cold weather....it's just my summer "blue sky" car.
