I was re-keying a lock for someone today, and thought it might be a good time to take some pictures & explain how you can do this yourself. It’s not rocket science, if I can do it, anyone can do it. Please correct me if I’m wrong, or use the wrong terminology.
I’ll start with a door handle, because that seems to be what needs to be re-keyed the most.   Your standard 914 door handle. |

The 75-76 steering column requires you to mark and then drill hole to remove pin holding ignition lock. The only place I have seen the demensions is the the factory manuals. Good pictorial.
