is this the same process to remove the lock cylinder on an 89 cadillac deville?
more than likely it is very similar cuz i have a 89 seville. i know mine is giving m hell to take off.
i believe so i have a 90 deville mines just ceased up on me i had to disconnect the battery. thank god the ignition switch is cheap. now i have the same prob.
thanx man. got some confidence now.. what a coincidence, you mentioned your first car was a 77 chevy impala. and that was your first cylinder you’ve replaced. well i have the same car 77 impala coupe, and thats the reason i’m watchin this vid. my sis lost my keys so i gotta get a new ignition key and door lock. either do it myself or pay a locksmith $150. i decided to pay the appx $20-25 for the new ignition and for the locksmith to make me a key for the doors. thanx
Most older GM steering column’s up until 1995 were very similar. The only change on the newer models was the wiper switch on the signal arm. The job sounds complicated at first, but once you get skilled at it the job is easy as pie. The biggest pain is removing the snap ring on the lock plate, but you have to have a lock plate remover to compress the lock plate down. If you rebend the snap ring, and think its distorted dont worry about it when reinstallating. Good luck!
If you have the small block V8 in that Chevy i would upgrade the timing chain because the cam gears had teflon teeth which wear down in a short time.
thanks very much for this vid! i’ve been trying to figure out how to pull the ignition lock out of my 84 chevy c10 for a while now!
nooo effinnnn wayyyy.. the same thing broke off on the left of the wheel for the horn… creepy…lol
Thanks for that !I had my airbag deploed and I didn’t know how to reset it !
Kind of crazy, the way the camera swings all over.
