- This is an easy way to remove your ignition lock cylinder without removing the steering wheel and other covers. You have to drill a small hole in the top steering column cover to access to retaining pin on the lock cylinder. This is easily done and can be done in minutes instead of hours.
Edit: somehow I merged two videos together. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Yep, after 10 years, people still find your video helpful. It freakin' worked!! Thanks!!!
Man best vid ever thanks. Makes it so simple by showing the simple how and why
That worked great on my chevy express work van. Thanks for putting this video together.
took more time getting the tools out than to do the job.
ther1kid haha yeah saves a lot of time
You are trucking cool! LOL Actually I didn't drill the hole, rather I took the plastic covers off the column. But your video pointed out the little hole that is though the metal steering column housing to press down on that detent on the ignition cylinder while turning to on/start. I looked at a couple vids about pulling the steering wheel off with GM column puller etc , when I did not see that hole(bad eyes) and went DAM! Thought maybe it was on the other side. But your vid saved the day and I gotta wonder about these "fools" spending an hour or 2 + and needing special tools and the irritation involved. Thank you. There are almost always short cuts a real mechanic knows. Yours is one, but instead of defacing the housing, pulling the covers avoids that though a little more time and a T25 and a small 5mm socket is needed along with your allen wrench/my paper clip and getting some Si grease from the boots on the hands. .

Chris Perrien thank's for the kind words and extra advice! Always appreciated!
Awesome life hack. Even though your putting the smallest hole in the column, it goes by so damn quick. I just tried this. Thanks for the tip!
thanks! yeah the hole I don't even see it, and it saves so much time!
How would I remove the cylinder if the key will not turn at all to be able to use the Allen wrench to eject it?
Somehow I merged two videos together during the edit. The whole video is there you may have to jump ahead.
Any advice , if I lost my key, how to get it out ?
Show how to remove it with NO key. Or w key that will not turn at all. Lmk if you can do it.
Hi, Thank you for the easier method! Do you think that this would work the same for a 1988 G20 van. Although I do not have a key to turn it. I appreciate any advice you can give me I'd like to try and do this soon. I'm girly but with a little expert help from you I bet I can get this done. Thanks!
Low audio!!
Yeah it was a crappy recorder at the time. Sorry about that
Yeah I'm not drilling a hole. I would rather do it the hard way.
