The firebird that I won in an auction does not have keys.
It appears as though I can drill out the keyhole and use a screwdriver? What size bit? 1/4 " screwdriver blade? If I was Jack Bauer, I wouldn't need any of this stuff... |

Butchering the lock cylinder will not necessarily release the lock pin - it is actuated by the cylinder by a lever but is not a part of the cylinder. The lock rod is oriented parallel to the column shaft, engages teeth on the lock ring.
For a car that is going to be driven I would not want loose parts in there that could potentially seize up the column Here's a post on how to mechanically disable the lock: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?s=&...ost&p=91952 Is this an auto? 1993? Did the 93 have the 4L60 or the 4L60E? It at least needs a brake on signal to move from Park to Neutral. This post has been edited by Blainefab: Oct 11 2011, 07:54 PM |
