If Leon "lockdoc" says a rooster can pull a freight train then you better go find a chain.

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
Okay, I think I've got the cylinder fixed--good ol WD-40. I'm wanting to tighten the bezel before i put the dash back in.
Oldblue, are you saying to tighten the bezel by tapping it clockwise? Thanks for the help, Joe |

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
turn it to accesory position, put paperclip into hole and push spring while turning farther to the left (counter clockwise) and pull with key.
you can tighten or loosen bezel with screwdirver or you buy a special tool pretty cheap.

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
I'm stuck on supid today and this thing is kicking my butt! Is it the little pin hole that is right next to the key hole or is it the hole that is on the side of the cylinder thats inside the dash?

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
Cool! I just bought a new lock set today and was going to search to see how to do this! Im going to try doing the doors first. My ignition is fine, but just my doors that are almost impossible to lock and unlock. Hopefully there is a thread of swapping out door locks somewhere..

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
Will this same method work for a 1961 Chevy C10? There is no accessory position.
Thank you |

If I remember correctly the '61 has a separate start button does it not. If so, you would turn the key to the right to the "on" position then insert the straightened wire or paper clip to depress the retaining pin. Then turn the key farther to the right to remove the cylinder. This is the opposite direction from the '67-'72's. I would unhook the battery before doing this. Any problems let us know. LockDoc

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
Lockdoc, thanks for the reply. There is no separate start button but as soon as my new ignition lock cylinder arrives, I will give your instructions a try.

If there is a start position in the switch then it would remove just like the '67-'72's.... LockDoc

Re: Changing an Ignition Lock Cylinder
The lock cylinder went in with very little problem. You stick the paper clip in the hole and turn the cylinder it to the left while pulling on the cylinder. It will eventually work its way out. Place the new cylinder in the same position as the old cylinder came out and turn to the right. Thanks for the help.

No problem on the help. Technically you should turn the cylinder all the way to the left "Before" you insert the paper clip and push the spring loaded pin down, then it should turn to the left a little more and pull out. LockDoc
