the ol' stuck ignition cylinder problem - 85T

Hello,
I've gone through the archives for the stuck ignition switch problem, and have tried evey lubricant possible - graphite, wd-40, and tri-flow. I know some say not to use wd-40 (water dispersal?), but after several days and still no turning I'm at a loss. (I also used compressed air to try to dislodge any debris in there.)
I do not remember spilling anything down the keyhole, and simply squirting only graphite in there worked on both my previous (also old - 1984) 900s when they had the same problem.
I suppose I need a new cylinder by now? If I want to do it myself, how does one remove the old part to try to un-stick it without having to replace it?
Thanks, as always!
