This was so helpful, thank you very much for putting out this useful content! The tip of a key was broken off in the end of my ignition cylinder and I was at wits end trying to get it out. After learning how to remove the face of the cylinder it was a simple task of pushing the broken key tip out. I would not have gotten this done otherwise. Thanks for saving me over $100 on a new ignition cylinder!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to tackle getting rid of those stupid split wafers this weekend!
I have a 1990 4Runner that had a key broken in the ignition that I could not fish out. Your video helped me get the broken key out in 15 minutes. Thanks so much!

This is very helpful, thanks!!!! so my question is, if I buy a new OEM uncoded lock, and want to re-key it to match the doors, can I rearrange the pins included the new lock? or do I need to buy a wafer kit? do the new locks use the same 8 pins, just in various combinations?
If I take cap off and the retainer c clip in the rear will I be able to take it apart and have access to push a broken key out?
Awesome thanks mate!
Question: Can I disassemble my old and new ignition cylinders and rearrange the wafers in the new one to match the old key? Or do I move the old wafers to the new cylinder? I can't find anything out there answering that question or showing how, and can't seem to find any new 'wafer kits' for a 2003 Tacoma
You can rearrange them in the new barrel, but there’s a chance you won’t have all of the wafers that you need. Look for a TOY43 wafer kit online
Thanks - I did a bit of looking and those kits seemed a bit pricey, so I got a new cylinder for cheap and accepted I'd be carrying two keys@@thtjt
Thanks pj
Perfect!
I’m new to split wafers on early Toyota, my question is: are all the wafers in this lock split or are there partial ones? I bought the a-30-117 kit from CLKSupplies as it lets you replace split with whole one, but do these locks contain either all split or mixed wafers? Wondering if the new kit can work or if I’ll also need the a-30-108 as well
Contains both wafers, the other kit is for a different code series -PJ
@@clksupplies oh ok I got the A-30-117 the whole wafer set, cuz I’m gunna be rekeying a Toyota but didn’t want to be stuck with one type, sorry for ignorance
Also which side can this be done on, either side or exact side as in video?
On the side shown
not enough swearing :P
My locksmith has my car 5 days now trying to order wafers that fit my honda cr-v to rebuild my lock. He is trying to fix it so I don't need new key
I can’t get the pin to move?
Did you drill next to it?
@@clksupplies I figured it out a little bit of debris from drilling got caught. The friction was enough to not get it out easily. Thanks for the video was able to fix my ignition without spending 200+
@@Scuurpro which side can I drill this on? Either side or exact side as video?
@@pouncerminned863 I drilled on the exact same side as the video.
For old Toyotas, either side. If one looks closely at the video at 1:30 to 1:33 or so, one can see that the bottom (or inboard) end of the drift pin, when installed, sits not in a hole but in a channel. Hence one can drill from either side.
You seriously held it in your hand while you hammered it? That thing's machine-pressed on there pretty damn good... something tells me this video would be 20 minutes longer if you dared to demonstrate
It actually works. I used an 1/8" punch, held it in my hand, and about 4-5 hits on each side and it is out. Once you get it started you can use a flat screwdriver in the gap and split it that way, too.
It worked for me as well. Tip: Before hammering, get a wood dowel about 3/8-inch diameter and 1-inch long and insert it into the circle where the key would go. Rest the wood dowel (inserted as described) on a block of wood, hold everything together with one hand, and with the other hand, start hammering. To improve on this even more: Get a 2x4 that is around four or more inches long, and drill a hole in it the diameter of the wood dowel, about 1/2-inch deep. Insert the dowel into the hole. Put the ignition lock on top of the dowel. Hold the punch-ignition-lock-dowel assembly in place in the hole in the 2x4, and hammer.
