Dont want to sound stupid but how do you get the lock cylinder out of the dash without the key.I know about the paperclip trick but I thought you had to have the key.I was going to go to local shop and see if he had any old for keys to see if I can fin one that works just to change the lock.Dont really want to drill it out.(last resort)
I wish I would've known about the paperclip trick.
The first thing I did to my Mach 1 was drill out the ignition lock cylinder... and while I was taking the driver seat out this weekend, I found the keys the previous owner had lost under the seat (pretty much embedded in what's left of the carpet). Grrrr!!!
that sucks I hate to drill them out
Yes you have to have the key for the paperclip trick. Another place you might get lucky and old salvage yard may have a stash of keys and you would be surprised how easy it is to find one that will work.
