Update on HELP! V70 won´t let me turn key although shift in P V70-XC70 2004

Hi!

I did as suggested in previous thread, sprayed with CRC 5-56 (corresponds to wd-40) and waited overnight. Applied same maximal force I dared day before, and now the key turned. It is very resistant, so it will not flex back form engaged starter position, I have to do that myself, but car now drivable. Before this, I went to Volvo authorized dealer and asked about any electronic gadgets possibly preventing turning of key, and in there should be none. They recommend replacement of lock cylinder.

I thus I have to retract my banter in first post about electronic gadgets. And thanks, Volvo technician, for taking your time explaining.

I spoke with work colleague who takes care of locks, and he confirms my suspicion that the problem might be for example small textile debris that has entered the lock, he suggests taking lock cylinder out and cleaning it with isopropanol (same as in many windshiled wash concentrates). He says a modern high precision lock should have no lubrication, oils may become rancid and block, and they also make dirt stick and stay in the lock.

In short,I would be very glad if someone could provide me with a link to picture or a description of how to take the lock cylinder out.
