Leif Holmberg Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Looked in my 1938 Shop Manual and nothing about install or remove a lock cylinder. Leif in Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonmeridew Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Joe:This would be a question to ask your locksmith, usually it's a matter of inserting the key, and pressing a thin wire into the little hole next to the key, removing the whole cylinder, and doing the same in reverse with the new one. He can pick the lock if you don't have the key for the old cylinder. Not sure if this answers your question, but still would give a locksmith a call.simonmeridew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Magrath Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Isn't the cylinder held in with a small grub screw? It uses a small allen key from memory. But then I could be completely wrong!CheersGrant:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
