FlatFourFrenchy Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Buddy at work is working on 79 Brat. Ignition cylinder stuck in run. Can't start it, can't turn it. Anyone have any ideas or know of part supplier for cylinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 On the bottom left side of the housing there is a pin that holds the cylinder in place. Its small and hard to find but it is there. If you drill a small hole next to the pin you can use a pick pull it out. Once the pin is out the whole cylinder can be removed from the housing and then take it to a locksmith. Tumblers are probably shot. I did this with the housing removed from the column but I can't think of a reason why it couldn't be done with it still installed.
