Worked. Great video. I could get mine to turn to ACC position with a screwdriver once I removed the keyway pin. Took some time pulling it out, but suddenly it slid out like butter and new one went in easy. Thanks.

This ignition like any other GM ignition has a sidebar. You don’t drill the key hole. You need to drill the sidebar that located at 7 o’clock. It’ll take you 5 sec to drill it and another 2 sec to turn the ignition counter clockwise and push in the hole to remove it.

I think it will work. Worse case you have to replace the entire ignition switch.

Thanks perfect instructions done in 15 minutes. Changed 71 ignition. Follow his instructions you'll be crusin.

Let me know how it goes - just take out a little at a time. Worst case you buy a new ignition switch all as one piece if you really mess up.

Ross Johnson he fixed the lock, but the switch fell apart! 53 year old petrified plastic. Replaced it with a Chevy switch. Works just fine. Git R Dunn!

I lost my keys once, did this. 2min later I was driving

68 is the same gen so wouldnt this work 68-72

Judging by the bullet hole in the back window you sure that was your truck?

No I have not had to try and get one out that is locked. If you lost the keys then just get new cylinders with keys which are cheap and then take off the door panel and change them. It is pretty easy to do.

It's the same for a 66 impala?

@tumbles94

Not sure - knowing GM I would say it may work the same. You maybe could drill it out but you should see if they sell the individual parts or the entire switch to change out first.

From recent experience is better to install a new switch and lock cylinder. Unscrew the disk around the keyway and unplug the wires. I had used an old switch I had and a new cylinder.

@b-boyjay4157

the ring (disk) around the keyway isn't supposed to come off with the diameter of the cylinder plug installed ... unless its really worn or the wrong parts installed, it won't come off.

That removes the entire switch assembly with the lock cylinder intact. If you do it that way, you have to replace both the switch and the lock cylinder.

It is more if you want to spend $60 - 80 for an entire switch or $10-15 for insert. Not sure but you may have to get the lock cyl. out anyway to get the collar off on the entire switch. I would say this is easy now that I have done it. i think maybe 10 minutes I could do another one.

Heydave420 if you don’t have a key you can’t remove the cylinder. If you can’t remove the cylinder you can’t remove the bezel. If you can’t remove the bezel you can’t remove the whole ignition....... if you have anything constructive to add that would help a guy out in this situation by all means let’s hear it. Otherwise get off KZread if it’s misleading you so bad!

Scotty yes if you have a key that turns

So I googled Door lock cylinder removal and this came up in google images. After seeing the thumbnail I had to click it. WOW!!!! The fact you actually did this is one thing... but why on earth would you tell anyone you did, let alone make a video with your face on it. Should have went with the approach you did when you picked out your KZread user image... this approach is extremely sloppy and risks damaging the housing (switch). This kind of work is why specialized trades like mechanics, locksmiths, etc. say... "labor rate $75 hr, $120 if you watch, $140 if you help, and $200hr if you worked on it first." geez... and why does everyone seem to think a drill bit down the middle of the key hole is a good idea, yeah a good idea if you wanna break a drill bit! lol ...Did you see the switch after he got it out and was putting the new one in? wtf? At that point just replace the switch cuz you mangled the old one. Glad it's not my car or my reputation at stake here. I guess it's better you show all the ppl looking up this video how to replace it with no key, aka theives, cheapskates, etc. Do it yourselfers like you who know just enough to get themselves into trouble. On to the next job shaggy... cuz that was janky.

@tumbles94

4 жыл бұрын

Sigh......I did this as a test and really did not care if it "janked" it up to be honest. I had a brand new ignition assembly in the box ready to go. Which is the right fix but if you want to go the cheap or fast route then this did work and is still working years later if you are wondering. So who cares you scrape some things up because the tolerances are not that tight on this part. I could not find many (read none) videos on replacing this WITHOUT the key.

@BrentFriar

This is exactly how a pro would have done it. The lock cylinder has to be removed before you can remove the rest of the switch. If you don't have the key or the cylinder is busted, you drill it out. Dude might not have the best technique, but the process was right and it worked.
