Good Hunting!
I tried everything from needle nose pliers to tweezers and even locksmith tools, and it will not come out. Tye issue maybe that the tumblers have it locked in as the key is broken in the momentary on position. The previous owner made like 10 spare keys for it though so that isn't a problem.
