I popped one quickly with a screwdriver and the installation Allen wrench the first time I tried but the second time took forever. Didn’t try to push in that spring a second time though. I just checked Home Depot and they sell a removal tool for 38 cents😂😂. I think I might invest in one. Thanks for the video
Thanks for this. Better video than others on this subject. Seeing the spring tabs inside the cylinder well from your video made it possible to use 2 small screwdrivers while depressing the spring tab for the center lock rod to easily pop out the cylinder. Thank you!
Just the tip... You can use 2 bits of an old coat hanger wire to get the same result, no need to push the spring back with a screw driver, just use 2 bits of coat hanger wire, one behind each clip and out she pops. I realised that after watching your video so thanks muchly!
QUESTION Inside the hole that the spindle goes and the one you are stickomh the hemostat through there is a spring inside that metal cage. Mine is broken....can it be replaced????
Good tip if i miss place my pickel tool. Keep the vids coming,I'm learning alot from your videos all the time. I was just wondering why don't you replace the upper pins every time you rekey a cylinder by just replacing the lower pins only. My lab repinning kit has an upper pin number to replace with the lower pin number. Does the lower pins have to correspond in length to the upper pins to keep the springs from prematurely failing?
And when you can't find that tool, you're screwed without knowing a different way to get them off. Don't be so close-minded. And watch the vid. He mentioned this specific reason for knowing this tip. But I guess you were too ready to pounce and tell him that people should just buy the tool. What happens when you lose the tool? What, happens when you're on location and realize you left it at the last job? You gonna leave and go get it? I'm not. By the time you get back, I've finished and moved on to another job site lol. But you go ahead and rely on only that tool. Smh. Don't mean to be so crass in your comment section, Jason. But, IMHO, this kind of thinking is inexcusable in any line of work. Not just locksmithing.
