Broken screws are incredibly frustrating to remove, especially when it's just the screw head that's broken off. Fortunately, screw extractors make this process as clean and simple as possible. A screw extractor kit should include a number of different bits.

Start with one of the two smallest bits to make a pilot hole, then tap an extractor bit into the pilot hole with a hammer until it's firmly in place. Using a pair of pliers, continue pushing down on the extractor bit but begin to turn it counter-clockwise. The broken screw should, with a little effort, begin to slide out.

An inside pipe wrench also called a pipe extractor. It drives into the broken off pipe and is then turned with a crescent wrench.Normally a extractor or inside pipe wrench does not work removing a pipe . What works best is the use of a hack saw blade and a chisel to cave in the threads after the threads are cut.. BECAREFUL not to cut into the fitting threads

You would need some information on a Chevy Lumina 90 and like to know how to pull a key out of the ignition lock with a key extractor?

It would be easiest just to replace the ignition. Since no other locks share the key, replacing it wouldn't make a difference. Using the extractor could be an excercise in frustration. Depending on how deep, what cuts are on the key, how much tension the springs are putting on the broken piece, and what kind of extractor you are using. Will depend on how to use the extractor, if you're even using the right extractor for the situation. You twist spiral extractors. Hook extractors are made to pass the key then hook as pulling out. Extractor pliers grab the broken bits.
