My 72 had a key broken off in it. I drilled out the pin hole, then drilled right into the key location, and bam!!! It popped out with force. I had to replace it anyway, so I did not care about recking it, just wanted to save the dash. The new one was a little tricky to put in as well, as I remember. I suggest replacing the 68 style with a reproduction 72 style that has the ACC setting.
