Why not do it yourself? It is easy.

That's because auto shops charge 90/hour for labor. Find a friend who's mechanically inclined... it's not a hard procedure if you have the tools.
I'm currently scanning photos from when I did it. They'll be on the site linked below in a couple hours. Edit: Photos up now. Will caption them... This post has been edited by mr_dude: Apr 3, 2004 - 10:37 PM --------------------  |

not to hijack or nething but let me know how ur lock replacement turns out dude. Someone did the same exact thing to my celica (screwdriver into the locks), then broke the window. I'm going to need to replace my trunk key, and pass. door key. -Ryan -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld

A friend of mine who does automotive stuff said any car locksmith will replace the tumbler and have it fit your key... for around 60 bucks.
I decided to say forget the lock and just install power locks with a keyfob. I have the alarm/fob system already, soon I'm going to install the power locks. Then I won't ever need to use the passenger side lock. So I filled it with epoxy so no screwdriver will ever sodomize it again. -------------------- |
