quote:Key turns and releases fine, starts the car every time
So, your 40 year old car's ignition cylinder still works fine but you want to change it.
I get it. As owners of exotic rust-prone Italian Hot Rods, some might say we are a "different" breed. While it makes sense to us .....
But, before you begin, here is the task before you:
The entire ignition lock assembly needs to be removed from the car so you can replace the lock barrel. This is not easy.
The assembly is mounted with two security bolts that have torque-to-snap hex heads that break off when proper torque is reached.
I found using a cut-off wheel and a Dremel worked to cut a slot in the remaining head to use a flat blade screw driver.
THEN, you can remove the assembly and move to your work bench.
Ready for step two?
