How To Replace Ignition Lock

I did this tonight in a column I had out of the vehicle. One important thing to note here is YOU CAN'T pull the lock out with the key in the lock cylinder. I had the key in there and this little part was sticking out then I realized to take the key out. Figured id mention that as doing this in car for the first time these little things can really drive you nuts.


Also if its out of the car it can be done even easier. I didn't have to remove the snap ring because the shaft slid up enough to get some access in there. I left the wheel lock plate thingy on. Found a really small allen key and got it in there enough to release the lock cylinder.
