Squarebody Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement

[@TheStarksRegards]

I have an 89 G20 and this is probably the best tutorial I’ve found to change an ignition cylinder. Thank you!

This was the best overall video for me on that process. NOTE: if you have a 1973-1978, there is no “pin” holding the cylinder in (the one he says here not to drop). There is an unknown little slot you have to punch out by the light of the full moon on Durin’s Day. It’s often covered by the casting so you have to punch it out. There’s a very short, one-minute video showing you where it is. I think you’d never find it otherwise. Was a life-saver for me as I was about to have to drill mine out.
