Hi all, I’m sure it’s been a topic before, but I can’t seem to find any resource in extracting the lock / handle from the front-trunk. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a thread or provide some help?
Thank! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

On a similar vein, is it possible to remove the tumbler from the latch handle with out removing the cable? It's the last lock on my car that I have to rekey.

On a similar vein, is it possible to remove the tumbler from the latch handle with out removing the cable? It's the last lock on my car that I have to rekey. Sort of. There is a small set screw on the T-handle housing that holds the tumbler in the housing. You have to pull the handle far enough out of the bracket tube to access that handle. My bet is it will require unhooking the cable at the latch as @bkrantz described. At that point, you might as well just unscrew the cable from the handle and take the handle to the bench for re-keying. One addition to Bob's handle removal instructions. There is (or should be) a small screw on the bottom that goes through a slot in the bracket and into the handle to act as a stop to limit how far out you can pull the handle. That needs to be removed to pull the handle out of the bracket too. |
