How do you remove a ignition barrel from a Hyundai excel 98 as the key will no longer turn on?

To remove the ignition barrel from a 1998 Hyundai Excel, first ensure the battery is disconnected for safety. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the plastic cover surrounding the ignition switch. Locate the release pin or screw on the ignition barrel, which may require the key to be in the "ON" position to access it; if the key won't turn, you might need to drill out the lock. Once the release mechanism is disengaged, pull the ignition barrel out of the steering column.
