again if you have a 95 or 96 you will have to pop off the plastic thing on the outside first....then to replace just push it back on

Spud,

Are you using a screwdriver to release something in that second picture?

you use the long screwdriver to push the release pin while you are pulling the lock out

Yet an even easier way for someone to steal a neon if they saw it. We should lock this to members only lol

UPDATE: I was not able to pull the tumblers out last night. Turns out that while I could turn the key forward a little bit, it was not enough to let me push the release pin. I had to remove the ignition switch from the lock assembly and got it to start with a screwdriver. I've been told a locksmith can pull the tumbers out with a special tool, so I guess that's my next step...

At least I can drive my car now!

first off you cant remove the lock without having the key, unless you brake out the lock...

now what you can do is use the screwdriver to turn the ignition on, then press the button and pull out whats left of the lock with a pair of pliers...then you can save alot of money by not having to get a locksmith
