Paul Faulkner Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I have a 2006 Impreza wrx and my key has snapped on my boot lock. Would please appreciate advice on removing the broken key and the replacement of a new key please and potential costs. Subaru want £250, 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I have broken key extractor tools, either make something yourself (google it) or buy them off eBay perhaps getting them out door looks generally pretty easy and done in under 30 minute (many times just few minutes) or maybe hour if real tricky one. New key normally can be cut from 2 broken halves, we had this done a few times no bother, recovering key and cutting key should be half or less of subaru estimate .

Neil Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Remove the lock barrel hold upside down and give a few good taps onto a good firm surface ( sturdy work bench ) if your lucky the force will bring key out far enough to pick out easily if disassemble barrel keeping tumblers in order key out reassemble, hope that's some help to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impreza abuser Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Depending on how flush the break is, get the end of a candle and heat it up. Press onto the key and let cool. Then pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
