This is a follow-up to my posting yesterday regarding my Westy key being in
the possession of the thieves who stole my wife's car.

The  police found our car.  It was a 1991 Maxima with every option and in
showroom condition.  We just returned home from going to the towing business
to see what the car looked like.  It was terrible.  It looked like it had
been abused for the last twenty years.  Seriously, we weren't prepared for
how bad it looked.

Since the thieves still have my wife's keychain, and since they stole her
car from our driveway, I figure that the Westy is next.

I called several locksmiths today to check prices on re-keying the four
locks and the ignition.  If I have them remove the locks, re-key them, and
re-install them, the cost is two arms and two legs. If I pull the cylinders
myself, the cost is only both thumbs.

Does anyone have a manual that would show the procedure for removing the
lock cylinders and ignition?  Would anyone be willing to scan the pages and
email them to me?

Thanks.
