where the key goes
 

i have a 96 lx and it has been broken into and attempted to be stolen, in the process of this they damaged the internals of the key cylinder not the part that rotates but there is a chip that like sits on top of the clinder behind the metal plate that has the 0 123 and it is cracked in half and im assuming thats the part i need to replace but there is nothing in my haines manual about it any information is always appreciated thank you
