Default Re: Ignition Key Sticking Disable the cylinder lock ?

Thanks. Guys. GREAT instructions Mr. Onehundred80 !

KDW4Him Thanks. Great to know I don't need to buy any parts !

However....

I am at BEST a casual mechanic. Who am I kidding. I can't call myself a mechanic.
I am a guy who has worked on my own car and my girlfriends car.

I put a water pump in in my old 1982 Toyota Celica once. I put a power steering pump in my girls friend's 2002 Oldsmobile Alero.

Those are about the most complicated jobs I've ever done.
Both took me all day. And I had help on the power steering pump from another non-mechanic, her brother.
Both repairs were successful anyway.

If I were going to try this myself, I would definitely reuse the old assembly and disable the cylinder lock.

How hard is this job you describe ?

Could a guy like me do it ? I mean without wishing I hadn't tried to do it myself ?

PS: This is my only vehicle. It's my only ride. And I don't think I'll find a mechanic who is willing to disable the cylinder lock. One guy at least said no way.
