Hi,
I just got my K100 running reasonably well and came out to do a road test. I could only the key half way in.
Apparently some jackass has been fiddling around in the night and manage to break a foreign key off in the lock.
As far as I can see peeping down the hole there is half a brass key broken off about 1/4" down from the dust flap.
I have a fine pointed pair of tweezers that can get to it but not well enough to get a grip.
Can anyone suggest a trick to recover a bit of broken key stuck in the lock ?
TIA.
