Thank you for that advice other videos said you had to turn the key but I'm replacing the cylinder because I lost the key that's good you did it without turning it I will give it a shot hopefully it'll work
Great video. My '79 C20 locked up just this morning. Had to pull the Alternator wire to shut down the truck. Watched your video and off to O'Reily's I went. All fixed now!
A very good video. You saved me a lot of grief with pointing out the last screw you took out which locked in the cylinder. I've have more attachments on my system than I have seen on any other videos. So the last screw is somewhat blocked,. Will pull it all the way out and that should release the cylinder.
The removal chapter was very useful for my dad and I in installing a new steering wheel in his '84 chevy. We had to look at another video to figure out where the c clip was supposed to fit- hopefully we were right in wedging it on the part of the rod the green part sits on 😅 Thank you for sharing!
On my 87 Chevy, it wasn't that easy. Even though my ignition barrel was stuck like yours and wouldn't turn at all, it was not the ignition barrel and key that needed replacing. It was much deeper into the ignition assembly than that. If you pull that cover off where the ignition barrel and all is you will see what I'm talking about. It's a lever that goes through the column and connects to a little plastic gear that rides on a metal lever that has grooves in it. Well, that has a spring on it and the spring dislodged and went in front of the gear. I went to fix it and I got the spring back into place and it still wouldn't turn. I dug deeper into it and discovered that the metal lever that connects to the second metal lever that down further into the column which is the second section of the column that is underneath the speedometer cluster, the section that's right underneath the dash also has a second lever that the first lever next to that goes up to the base of the column. Well, that leader was bent and was not connected to the other lever anymore. So now I have to take a screwdriver in there had to break open that piece of the column just so I could start it up. I wish mine was as easy as replacing an ignition switch. Now I'm looking at having to replace the entire column possibly.
Just a great well planned and thought out How To Video.. Very well done straight forward no b.s like some do here, hey look here's my dog spot, we had a little rain last night, Baba baba ba ba baba ba. Thank you Dave
Thanks for this video! It was pretty similar on my 1980 Chevy Malibu, couldn't have done it that efficiently without this video, even though the new ignition lock came with instructions.
The reason they recommend you have it in the run position is so the tang retracts on the ignition to accept the ignition buzzer. Yours is missing. At 5:55 in the video you remove the ignition from the box. You can see the black tang to the far left on the new lock cylinder.
Taking apart the whole non tilt column is the biggest bear. I think the tilt column is easier than a non tilt. The little plastic gear that meshes with the ignition cylinder strips on on those non tilts. If you want buttery smooth ignition movement, put a small but of grease one ignition switch where it slides. Mine was getting a little stiff. New they are loaded with grease but it breaks down.
I already put everything back together but forgot to put the big plastic cover back on. Do I need to have it? Damn sure don’t feel like pulling the steering wheel back off lol
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Salvador Ronald Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
hi rich.i charged my automatic transmission fluid on my saturn s series yesterday. new spin on filter..put proper same amount of fluid back in.but now my car makes a whining noise in first gear. after that it's ok.what is going on ! verylter frustrating.maybe I put too much in .not enough? maybe a defective filter..also it's hard to get a accurate reading on the stick.car is level and in park idling normal operating temp..any help would be appreciated thank you
Also how doe the lock cylinder gets hard to turn over? I have recently changed mine and now the new one is hard to turn over the motor. I have to use a pliers to turn the engine over.
So my truck won’t start like nothing comes on that’s supposed to when you turn the key no seatbelt light the starter won’t turn over and I’ve checked grounds got a new battery and replaced the ignition switch and still nothing could it be the ignition cylinder or should I look at the starter
Please someone answer this question I'm having the same problem in my 78 Sierra heavy half no electrical at all and I replaced the ignition switch and battery is newly bought when I got er running again....I just got everything running cherry and this bs happens....did u ever get it figured out?
