I havent been on here for ever, but have always found useful solutions, so im back!
So..someone tried to break into my car (trunk/passenger door) and really messed up the lock cylinders..my key wont even go in.
I ordered 2 new cylinders (trunk/door) from Subaru and received the parts. The head guy at parts told me it is a 10 minute fix per lock...and shouldnt be much.
The locksmith to re-key the cylinders to my existing set of keys wants damn near $100 for 20 minutes of work...
It is now my mission to do it myself..
If there is anyone with knowledge on the subject, pleeeaaassee pass it on!
Looking at the thing it doesnt seem that difficult, but springs always scare me. If anyone knows anything i should know before i attempt this please tell me!
Videos/instructions/manuals are impossible to find, if you have a hand written guide, ill take it!
If you tell me you've done it yourself and its not that hard, ill even accept that for a confidence booster. Just please help my baby!
Thanks for reading at the least!
