I do not think you need the tumblers in the ignition for install , just know how they fit in before install. Now to the problem! I cannot get the damn ignition module back into the collar. It only goes in to the pin, and when I press the pin in it still will not sink into the collar any further. Any advise for the both of us?
OK just put some dielectric grease or white lithium on the barrel before you insert in to the collar and jiggle. not allot,
just a little, and the tumbler hole should be almost vertical. The tumbler assembly and key can be installed after you put the clamp and electrical connections back on
