I recenlty got a recall on my ignition switch in my 2000 sunfire and I just took it to the dealer and they did it for free.
the tumblers have gotten out of sync, you'll probably have to have a new ignition switch put in
i don't really see the point in doing this it would take quite a bit of time to disassemble the ignition and remove all the tumblers if it can even come apart it would be a lot easier to just buy a used switch and change it out. it might be possible to do but imo not worth the effort
