Subject:      How do you re-key steering lock cylinder?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


Hello Folks,


I'm looking to re-key my van. I've got the lock cylinder out. I am looking
at the new replacement lock cylinder.  I need to know how to take the wafers
out so I can re-key to match my old key.


I don't see any pin on the cylinder. I see this section with a black strip
which looks like a way to get it apart. I'm hoping some of you have
dismantled one and give me some tips before I destroy the cylinder in the
attempt.


Please do not say, "take it to your locksmith". =) I quite familiar with
that process already. I would like to be able to do this myself. I've
re-keyed Vanagon doors.




TIA,


BenT
