How exactly did you get the pin out? Put a nail in there & hit it with a hammer basically?
At 1:23 my car has a screw that keep the black cap in place. There is very narrow space which makes it hard to unscrew. Is there a way around this?
I will probably need to do this soon as my lock is playing silly buggers, have to jiggle the key in and out slightly while attempting to turn it, it does turn in the end. Pretty sure its on its way out.
Just take the lock cylinder out by pulling the roll pins take the lock cylinder out pull the Fing wafers and tiny springs out put back together. Slapper all back together and never have this problem again. The transponder in the key is the trick to getting it to start anyway so why f with the stupid never ending failing wafers and the key that is constantly wearing.And yes The stearing wheel still locks when you turn it off and pull the key.You can take your key out while its running too which is very convient at times. I put one full rap of black electric tape at the end of the cuts on the key so that the key doesnt fall out of the lock easily. Just did this today and it works like a champ. Sorry locksmith's but this nightmare is BS AND I FOUND THE CURE. Save yourself a tow and 200 bucks buying new keys blah blah
Do you need a new key or anything?
Please what model year of Civic is this?
Great really helpful video.
I successfully got the ignition barrel out of my friends Honda Civic 2007 1.4L Right hand drive European model last week. I did not need to remove the ignition assembly from the car. It helps to know that the expanded rollpin is 2mm diameter x 10mm long. I sprayed some loosening fluid into the pin and let it seep in. I then ground the tip off a 2mm diameter nail and used the nail to carefully gently and only slightly hammer tap the head of the pin. This to try release any binding between pin and its aluminum retaining wall. I then followed the method shown in this video https://youtu.be/T01989YN2Ew at video time circa 3:34 ie use a small fine flat head screwdriver to tap gently on each side of the barrel to open and expand that gap. This causes the pin head to gradually work its way out. It really worked great. I was able to grab the exposed rollpin head with a pliers and it pulled out very easily. The steering wheel can remain on and is not in the way. It did not deform the housing assy. It really speeds up the removal and I think is ok for an old car repair. Hope this suggestion helps save someone a lot of time getting this lock barrel assy out.
I'm just going to shot a shit ton of WD-40
Super helpful, just did it and saved me a lot of money.
The hardest part was the middle pin, other than that super easy and cheap fix.
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video, watched a couple from others as well. Just fixed my 06 pilot using your techniques. Saved $215 not buying the entire assembly. Didn't bother going to lock smith. Once I got the cylinder out I removed that top arm thingy, then a small hole was drilled to allow access to drive the pin out holding the end of the cylinder together. Pull the lock apart and it was easy to see which wafer had failed. Pulled that wafer out along with it's matching pair, cleaned everything up and reassembled. Worked great ZERO COST! Awesome! There is like 10 wafers in there, removing 2 of them is no biggie.
nice video – my 2003 Honda Accord EX is very similar but there is a 4th screw in the back to get the second cover off (green in your video, grey on my vehicle)…clearance is about 3/4 inch, even smaller than any bit I have. Had to stop the job today to get an offset screwdriver and going to try tomorrow. Looking forward to finishing this out using another video showing how to knock the rest of those pins out 😛 wish us luck
Thanks man! Getting the pin out was tricky but this helped me. Saved about 340 bucks
Worked like a charm
Awsome thanks
fucker been stuck in there for about 2 years.. just a min thru… now to watch this fully and hopefully this bitch starts up tomorrow
I have a 05 accord, I have to turn the key hard and just right for the car to turn on,it’s almost like something is not lined up..
Should I just replace the the cylinder?
Thanks for the help man
This work for an ‘04 Honda Element?
This happened to me last night, is there any way I can start it with a screw driver to get it home?
Would this work on a Honda Civic 2013
When I took it out it spins but when I re insert the cylinder it doesn’t turn
Great clip man thanks
Just wanna thank you for posting this cheap and quick fix. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
