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!
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?
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????
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.

Nice 60's tip, don't let the old knowledge die. 🍺👍🏽
Hemostat worked for me. Thanks.
Love it Jason. I’ve got a bunch of doorknobs to break down and that’s a great trick.
Thanks , yeah l have been trying to figure this out along time , thanks I was thinking I would have to grind it all away . Thanks moe
Very Informative and good video. It sure beats paying for someone to change out that cylinder.
I used to use an old school compass or dividers to do this. They actually work great. Still use them sometimes. Great tip buddy!
Thank you. You went into detail where others did not.
Very clear explanation
Bookmarked. I think I have a couple that I can take apart now. Thanks!
Great information buddy thanks .last time I used a hammer.lol lol just needed the cylinder out .lol 😎
Awesome thanks for the tip brother.
I like using a small pocket screwdriver. The spindle just falls right out every time.
Good tip if i miss place my pickel tool.

no, it has to be totally replaced
excellent, thank you
another nice one Jason!
Jeff Moss thanks! ;)
I been struggling with a kwikset for a full day because I don't have my kwikset tool at the moment. I tried this and had it out in 2 mins👍👍
The 60s. That explains the hemostats 😂
I also saw a tip for similar work using 2 small tip - screwdrivers instead of forceps
Awesome info! How do I remove a broken return spring in that handle?
You don’t. Replace only
The tweeters you have next to you will work as well.. As long as they are spread wide enough open to in-gauge the outside of the clips.
What is the push in thing your talking about?
I have a lock with a bad return spring . How do i get it out to replace it ?
You don’t. Replace whole lock only
Love ya J but folks should spend the $6 on eBay and buy a pickle fork.
