Does anyone have full detail description on how to change the ignition lock in an 89 240? I have the steering columb dropped already and plastics removed...but I cant seem to get the old lock out. Please help.

 

No one has done this before? I have it down to 2 bolts that I cant get off because the screws are stripped down to complete circles...any idea what to do to get these out?

 

I honestly cant beleive no one has done this before but dont worry about it now...I figured it out myself.

 

it sucks that no one helped you, but its cool that you fixed the problem. how'd you get the screws out?


i wouldn't have known the first thing about changing the ignition lock

 

damn i been so busy i didnt even notice the thread. you know i woulda hit ya with the info.....i have the manual disc....i woulda emailed ya the pages

 

Rude, can I get a copy of that manual disc? I have been Looking for one...I could get you some cash if need be. I used a screwout bit from craftsman...things are nice...but my friend said that the circular part is actually a metalic filling that is a safety mechanism so the ignition cant be taken off easily. Supposedly if you heat it up with like a lighter or something the stuff will melt away exposing the screw threads...go figure!

 

yeah i can help ya with the manual disc...


i got the craftsman joints too...thay are nice

 

With the number of stripped bolts I have...its definitely a good investment.

 

lol...it's hard to strip a bolt with 6 point sockets.....try usin them more often...

 

Oh I do whenever possible...this time it wasn't possible...but when I said I had alot, I meant because my cousin didnt know what he was doing when he owned the car! Not due to my own neglegence

 

ok, kool. just checkin.

yo the disc is burnt...hit me with ya addy and it's yours. i even burnt adobe acrobat too...just incase you aint have it.
cool?

 

cool man, check your PM's
