OLD HOLDEN IGNITION BARREL INSTALL PROCEDURE

To Replace Lock Cylinder Assembly

1. Disconnect battery ground lead to prevent possibility of short circuits.
2. Turn the Ignition-starting switch key to the “LOCK” position, then insert a length of suitable gauge wire into the small hole in the cylinder assembly (Fig. 1.1)
3. Remove cylinder assembly by maintaining a light pressure on the key in a counter-clockwise direction while pressing on the wire to disengage cylinder retainer.
4. With the key fitted to the lock cylinder, Install the cylinder to the switch. The key should be held adjacent to the “LOCK” position during this operation and a clicking noise should be heard as the retainer snaps into position

Lubrication

The barrel is pre lubricated if purchased from Mad Folk and should not need any further lubrication. If required in the future, only use dry lubricates such as graphite powder.

Note: The lock cylinder assembly cannot be removed from or installed to the switch unless the key is in position
