Lock cylinder replacment
Anyone know a trick for getting a lock cylinder out on a 69 bug. I
followed the haynes manual ( remove steering wheel, blinker assembly and plate over the cylinder ) then it says insert key and turn it a little and pull. I don't have a key, if I did I wouldn't be changing the lock cylinder. I tried a screwdriver to wiggle it a bit and pull with no luck. Thanks in advance for responses. Jason |

Lock cylinder replacment
I don't have the door keys either. The guy I bought it from couldn't
find the keys. The car was sitting for 20 yrs( 69 convertible with 65000 miles). I'll probably try drilling it. My new lock set should be here anyday. I got a smokin deal on the car so a little extra work is worth it. Thanks! |
