Igition key turns freely, no resistance, no start

89 900T, 5-speed, 140K, the ignition key turns in the cylinder without any resistance and naturally, no start either. Did a search on this BB and it appears that I need to remove the whole gearshifting assembly, then the cylinder. And that the cylinder can be rebuilt by any locksmith for around $25. Any words of caution or wisdom will be greatly appreciated before starting. I have a Bentley for 81~88, does it apply to an 89 in this regard?
