Removing the lock cylinder:

7. Remove the outer door handle.

9. Loosen the cross-head screw behind the lock cylinder. Remove the cylinder eccentric with the spring (photo 11.15).



10. Remove the lock cylinder with the key inserted.

11. The code number for the key is marked on the lock cylinder.

Warning: Removing the key from the removed cylinder will cause the pawls to fall out. To avoid this, it is necessary to wrap the cylinder with tape. After this operation, the key can be safely removed from the lock cylinder.

The removed lock cylinder is thoroughly washed in kerosene. Then it is necessary to check whether all the pawls move under light pressure of the finger. The jammed pawls must be removed, having previously wrapped the lock cylinder with tape, passing the pawl that will be removed.

Remove the key from the lock. Remove the pawl. Clean and lubricate the pawl. Do the same with the remaining jammed pawls. If the lock cylinder cannot be repaired, it must be replaced with a new one. Based on the number on the lock cylinder, a company equipped with door lock repair kits can install a lock cylinder that fits the locks in your car.
