[@pirihern9329]

Very helpful. This applies to many cylinders. Im working on a subaru sti door and trunk cylinder. Will try taking apart and cleaning.

Thanks a million for posting this video. You didn't give away all the secrets but I got enough to complete my wafer swap. I wish I had a fancy Gator tool for the face guard but no matter, I managed with screw driver and pliers. Tools marks are on the back of the guard which is OK because it is hidden. Rear spring and post were deceptively simple once I figured out to use the key to align the cylinder slots with the spring shanks. It look an hour to realize this, lol. Anyways, this video helped me save $150 which is what a locksmith wanted. Dealer would have wanted a fortune for the lock.

Would love to see the reassembly of this ford trunk lock. My current struggle is reseating the tailpiece spring correctly.

Two years late with the answer, lol. Use key to turn cylinder counter clockwise. Align spring shanks with slots and press spring into place. Turn key clockwise to load spring and lock cylinder into place. This was the hardest step for me. It was deceptively simple...once I figured it out.

Ordered subaru key tumbler kit

I am working on re-keying a trunk lock on my son's 86 Monte SS. As an ASE Master Tech since 1978, I have had many GM locks apart. Usually, they will have one (What I call - Flag Pin) because of it's shape, but is usually a the back and holds the cylinder inside the housing. I have a small variety of picks, some I made. I used to charge used car salesman who sold cars with a locking gas cap that has no keys. But those cheap thing has 3 tumblers or pin and where easy. I have not tried going CCW, and will give that a try. Not the ignition, but some had a hole in the housing to release the "Hold-In" pin, then slides out to re-key old by moving one flag-pin from location to another spot. Many had number on it, and upon inspection, you can see if it fit a key cut for tall, medium, of low cut. Matching with the existing key, flag-pins moved into correct place for new key....equals money! Have you ever done one of these of have advice to pass on to an old dude tech, retired to fix a simple stupid trunk lock? Sure, a guy can buy a new one cheap, but now the 86 will have 2 door keys...and you know that feeling, it not right, especially for family who unfortunately brings everything car to my house. I guess it's because I have more tools than the Tool truck and 4 SnapOn boxes, plus a roll cart. So, until I can each on their own, I'am it. Help? Thanks... hit LIKE! Subscribe! Both.

this video is very helpful, working on trying to get a key for this abandoned crown Victoria interceptor I got at auction, I am curios what software or tool did you use to find the last two cuts?

[@MrLocksmithman]

You could of used a lishi pick then you wouldn't have to disassemble lock. Pick, decode, cut. Wham,Bam, Thank you mam.

You're absolutely correct. Truth is: there are many ways to accomplish such task; this is [just] one of them. I hadn't seen any KZbin videos showing the "how to" for such a task, for new Locksmiths, which also includes those with limited budgets. Excellent comment.

[@MrLocksmithman]

The truth is the last words I saw on your video. God bless....love the videos your posting..Good work.

Had a door lock off of a 2007 F550 today that would not lishi. When I took it apart and pulled the wafers there was one bad wafer. Had to remove it and then it would turn. Lishi doesn't always solve everything :)
