Changing my Ignition Lock Cylinder

Post by rocketma1n »

I know this is an easy one but I figured I would have one of you experts verify the process before I ruin the truck in the dark tonight.

I am putting in a new ignition switch and want to make sure I know how to take out the lock cylinder. Do I just put the cylinder in the accessory position and put a pin into the hole on the cylinder? Will it just pop out?

Thanks for the rookie help.

:yt: and after you put the pin in the hole turn it counter clockwise past the ACC spot and then it will come out.
