Hello,

Replacing the ignition lock cylinder can be performed using simple hand tools.
Few things to keep in mind when changing out the lock cylinder:
Be sure to first disconnect the negative battery cable.
If your vehicle is equipped with anti-theft system, you will have to remove the steering wheel to get access.

I have attached the replacement procedure for the lock cylinder.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
