SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME, READ THIS: The lock cylinder is held in place by a c-ring that clips around the lock cylinder from the bottom (think of it as a U-shaped piece of wire, wrapped around the cylinder). You need to push the right side of it down from the top, then hook some wire up through it from the bottom to yank it down and out (I used the crimped end of a coat hanger). The video doesn't really illustrate this as well as it should. Some commenters are saying that you don't need to remove the window; save yourself the hassle and just take it out. It allows you to see the two sides of the c-ring from the top, which is very helpful. The window is only held in by two screws, so it really isn't all that difficult to take out. If you're already halfway through the job, just plug the window switches back in and roll the window down halfway so the two screws line up with the holes inside the door. The window track, however, does NOT need to be removed to do this job. It frees up a little space for your hands, but I didn't have any trouble with it being in the way. I can see it being a hassle to reinstall too once everything else is back together. Just in case it's a little different for other models, I was working on an '04 Civic EX coupe.
Excellent comment StepanOTT. I thought the window would be hard but like u said its just two screws. I have a 2004 honda civic dx and my issue was trying to reinstall the lock piece itself. But now i see that you reconnect it to the lock rod first, then put the handle in, then mount the bracket.
This was super helpful. After receiving one too many $200-$300 quotes over the past several months for replacing my door lock, I buckled down and chose to try it myself. This was the first video to show up in my search, and it was only a matter of waiting for some good weather after getting the cylinder in the mail. Took an afternoon and lots of patience (that clip part is indeed tricky), but now I'm finally able to open my car door like a normal person. Never had done a project quite like this before. Thank you so much.
As others have said, the MOST difficult parts of this procedure are basically left out of this video. The clip that holds the lock cylinder is the most critical part. In fact, if you could ONLY remove the clip the cylinder would come out in your hand. Others have noted the best way to remove it… take the glass out (easy) and push down on the top of the clip to give you something to grab on the bottom. Now, putting the clip back is the really tricky part but I figured out a hack that worked beautifully for me: Before assembling anything, put the door handle in the door and just BARELY “stage” the clip on the bottom of the plastic piece where the cylinder goes. This will line up the clip but allow you to inset the cylinder. Then, verrry carefully put the metal bracket on - you’ll have to come up from below to get the clip through the slot. I then tightened the nuts as tight as I could get them with my fingers to hold everything steady. Then, I carefully put the cylinder assembly into the hole, and held it firm against the door with one hand. Then, with the other hand I grabbed the bottom of the clip with a pair of bent needle nose pliers and pushed up. It went home perfectly on the first try. Good luck everyone! PS: If you’re reading this before attempting, note that there is an “E” clip that holds the tumbler inside the lock assembly on the very back of the cylinder that’s pretty easy to see. This is NOT the clip to remove the cylinder. The one you want is nearly invisible between the metal bracket and the door.
Very good to-the-point instruction without meandering or sidetracking. When videos are made for a business, they are usually more focused than videos made by volunteer do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Thanks for the helpful video.
One of the most helpful online How To videos I've seen. Speeds through the tedious parts, but as much as possible shows each item you need to see and disconnect, while narrating the process with correct terminology. This task is more complicated than I thought. Looks like it might be helpful to have a friend when putting the door panel back on.
+Catbo Having two people definitely makes it a little easier, but it can be done by yourself if need be. We're really glad that you like the video, and that it helped you out! For anyone else who might be doing this job, we carry the parts shown in the video on our website. Order from us and we'll cover the shipping.

Don’t forget about the retainer clip that is behind the mounting bracket!! It cuts out at around the ~8min mark. I used some wire and made it into a hook, I pushed down from the top and pulled from below with the hook. ALSO: you need to take the window out to do this part. I thought I could keep the window in, but I had to pull it out at this point.
Thank you for posting this tutorial! We followed the steps, got a little caught up on how to disconnect that clip so the handle could come out, but managed to remove it. Everything from that point on was super easy. We also decided not to remove the window, which worked out :) Thanks again!
1A Auto Parts Hello 1A auto. Hey got a question. Why did you not reinstall the lock cylinder retainer clip? Also I removed my window and lock but did not need to remove the track. I also took my new lock apart and chsnged the tumblers to accept the original key. Maybe 1a auto replacement locks have different tumblers? Otherwise if they do you can rekey the lock. I saw people were asking so wanted to throw that out there.
+terry dassow They do not install the new lock because the one in the video was okay, they just used the car to make a video for you all! You may be able to switch up the tumbler, but this lock is made to use the key it comes with.
I just replaced mine today and I did not have to remove the window at all. All I had to do was open the door panel and take out those 2 1mm bolts and I could easily get to the lock cylinder. A long as you can remove that spring that keeps it in place, you can replace it. This is too much work for such a small fix.
I don't see how you're supposed to be able to do this without removing the window. I've gotten to the point of removing the retaining clip and now I've got to go back and remove the window.

aw man it looks finicky. Its winter here in canada and i dont have aces to a garage. i guess im getting in thru the pasanger side till we get warmer weather.
2003 Civic 4 door LX, old key no longer would work. My car looks different than this video, but close enough for the steps shown to be the same. I replaced the defective cylinder lock tonight without removing the glass. it was rolled all the way up. Also, I only loosened the two bolts holding the door handle, but in hind sight, I'm not sure I had to do that either. I used a nail that I bent over 95 degrees to make a hook like tool. I had to pry the retainer spring from the right side (towards the front of the car) first and only partially down, when far enough down, the old cylinder almost fell out. Once removed, I just pushed the retainer spring back up in place and then popped the new cylinder lock in until it snapped. Good video, thanks, it helped me get past some things that would have taken longer to figure out.
Great video, concise and to the point. It looks kind of tricky though. I have a 2003 CRV and the driver's door lock tumblers are sticky and worn out. Any idea on how much a replacement would cost from a shop?
I just have some feedback for this video. The hardest part of this repair is the removal and replacement of the of the lock cylinder. No image is shown of the retaining clip for the barrel. Your arm is blocking most of the detail of its removal. The shape of that clip is a wire in the shape of a U or Greek Omega. The bottom of the U is barely visible under the barrel, and removing it is possble using a straight awl or pick. The reverse procedure is nearly imposible to do for barrel install. You are saying, "just pop it back in". Are you implying that we install the clip first? Thanks for the rest of the video, which was good. No need to remove the window at all on the Odyssey.
Good video, 1 tip that might help someone, i dnt think it gets mentioned but the clip you use the bent pick on, push that back in place prior to installing the new lock barrel, itll lock in when you push it in place and it retains the new barrel in place
Yeah, put the clip on the door handle then insert the door handle and put the lock in after you have it tightened down. Some models have an extra metal bit for support just make sure to put the lock in last
A hack for removing the C-clip. Make a 6 inch loop from 5 to 6 strands of dental floss for strength. Feed the loop over one arm of the C-clip The floss loop will slide down the side of the clip to the bottom . Fish the other end of the loop out the bottom of the bracket so you are pulling straight down on the clip. Get a good grip on it with pliers or vice grips and pull. The clip should come off the slot and the cylinder will be free. The clip will likely drop to the bottom of the door so keep an eye on it.
For years I left this door lock broken and always use the passenger door lock to get in. Well I'm tired of it. I completed this job mostly because of this video. I wish you showed us removing the spring other wise good video. I had to look elsewhere for that. I only struggle with the metal bracket onto the door latch. I broke a screw driver and decided to use a pry bar. Good video. Thank you 1aauto.
Great video 👍🏼 looks like a lot of work, so I just got an alarm with power door locks to open-unlock my doors. No more key entry. (Paid $130) No going in from passenger side.
You should spend some time showing more about getting that C clip off and on because that took like 2 hours to figure out and was very frustrating. You didn’t really get a good view of what we needed to do there. Rest was great though.
just did it on my 2004 sedan's driver door. definitely a bit harder than the coupe because you can't push on the lock's retaining clip from the top. luckily i was able to get it out with a couple flatheads and needlenose pliers though haha.
Sam J It was rather hard to tell, but about the half-way point when he has the angle pointed tool (awl) and the flat head going thru the window slot he points to it. Took me forever to figure it out because it’s damn near impossible to see, but I rewound the video a few times and managed to find it and remove it.
Wish I saw this a year ago. I tried replacing a different part in the same area (that didn't fix it) but I also managed to bend the crap out of my window track. I have crank windows so it's still possible to get it down, but it takes a lot of effort. I might go back in and replace the window track.
+tradedavid Yeah, when you change out the cylinder it typically comes with a new key that's specific to it. The old key only works in the old cylinder. Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You can get the new cylinder re-keyed to match the old cylinder before you install it - some locksmiths will do it - or do it yourself if you really like a challenge (though the tumblers that you will need to match your old key are hard to find)
No. The OE cylinder may be made to work with original key so you do NOT have to add a new key to your keyring. Just paid $30 at a local locksmith today for the service. It took less than 10 minutes.
Thanks for this video. 4 minutes in and I already made the decision to pay the $130 (CAD) to have the dealer install and re-key the new lock, it's just not worth my time. ;)
The one part of the video that shows disconnecting the lock cylinder from its assembly is not explained clearly and unfortunately that is the Most important part of the video.
The hardest part is the C-Clip and you really glossed over taking out and didn't even mention putting it back in. That being said it was a great starter and not hard to find a video that shows the c-clip removal and reinstall. ruclips.net/video/n8vmNnaVsic/видео.html&ab_channel=TRQ
+Tadthebrave The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I gave up on the pin thing holding the lock in and took it out with a 3/8 socket extender and a deadblow hammer since I was replacing the handles anyways 😂
I have a 2004 Honda Civic four door value package. The aftermarket part #1ADLC00004 did not fit. The aftermarket cylinder is like an 1/16 inch to short to fit into the groove for the stupid clip to hold it in place. Great video, but the stupid clip is an absolute NIGHTMARE to get off if you're not familiar with it. They don't mention anything about the mild to moderate difficulty of removing a manual window crank handle. They don't highly emphasize the importance of completely unbolting the outer door handle assembly. The two flimsy glued on post bolts are very easy to break off the outer door handle assembly. I had to go to the junkyard to replace the broken door handle assembly because I didn't loosen those two bolts while prying the top of the handle back to push down on the stupid door lock cylinder retaining clip. I highly recommend getting an OEM lock cylinder or one from the junkyard, not the piece of shit aftermarket one they sell. I also learned that it's possible to rekey the ignition switch to match the new door lock cylinders if you get an OEM cylinder. The shitty aftermarket cylinder key is completely different than the OEM key and therefore it's impossible to rekey it to match the ignition key. I wasted at least 5 hours on this stupid project. 1AAuto gave me a full refund without having to ship the piece of crap aftermarket door lock cylinder part back. I'm very frustrated, but at least they made it right without a hassle.
Wish they explained and showed more detail at 5:00. Also I cannot find a video for removing the lock cylinder for 2003 Accord. Hate how Honda designed this.
You need to tell the people to index the slots when installing the actual keyed lock into the door handle or theyll break the part where the spring clip goes on the door handle like i just about did
Nice video until you get to part where you remove the spring clip from the back of the cylinder, not easy, and you don't show the clip so we know what we are trying to remove, and also, you don't tell how you get that clip back on when reinstalling the cylinder, this was the hardest part of the whole job, and you just ignored it.
good video, but.....i hoped it explained how hard it is to replace that U shape pin back into the cylinder after u install it into its place, that was real hard.
Ruben Dominguez I was worried about this step too since the video wasn't clear on the pin. Watched a few other videos and studied this before attempting. So long as you grab the pin from underneath with a hook and pull it out, everything is cool. I put the pin back on the cylinder chassis before reversing the steps to reinstall. I then had to push with my ratchet extender to clip the lock assembly back in place. Everything took me less than 90 minutes, and that's with re-pinning the lock with new wafers to fit my existing key. Nice explanation guys.
John Schafer were your pins stuck?? Or what was wrong with them ?? Bent springs?? Lmk please i will be working on one tommmorow.. its only 15$ for replacemet door locks online..
How the heck do you get the cylinder back in once the retainer is in there!? It won't click or go in all the way! Especially at the 7:23 mark of the video.
+Paul Laygan It may be a different procedure on your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com
Once you buy the lock cylinder, you can take it to a locksmith to make the lock match your key. I did it and they charged $45 per lock (Fall 2016). Your locksmith may vary.
hi friend. my odyssey 2003 do not open the lock with my remote control of the slide door of the left side. how can I fix it.?can you give me some instructions please.
+Anibal Peña Thanks for watching! If the issue is only with one of the doors then you will want to first check the door lock actuator! www.1aauto.com/honda-civic-odyssey-door-lock-cylinder-honda-72146-s0x-a51/i/hodla00003?RUclips&CTA+Comment&WqcPHg3fkM
1A Auto Parts hi friend I am talking about sliding door. not about cylinders on front doors. The left sliding door does not open. The lock does not move. I need to move manually the boton in order to open the sliding door.
+littlesongbird1 You should be okay, however it's good practice to disconnect the battery whenever working on anything that's electrical on your vehicle.

Thanks. I don't think I need the parts. My dad and I Replaced the door handle a few weeks ago and the lock cylinder has slid into the door. He did however get the handles from you guys.
I did not remove the battery cable when I did this tonight. We had a hard time last year when the battery went dead, the radio would not come back on without a special code. After some searching, we found it on Google, I didn't want to hassle with that here.
I hoped this would be a DIY, but this is too much for me. Sadly I'll have to take it to my mechanic where he will find 3 other things he's going to claim needs repair.
To get to the horseshoe clip off but just get a pick set like dental picks at harbor freight and pull out. Installing it back in is where the cussing starts.
+Michael King Thanks for watching! This video is to show viewers how to replace the lock cylinder if needed. If you can have it re-keyed then that is fine, but usually these types are not able to be re-keyed. You can purchase new lock cylinders here: www.1aauto.com/honda-civic-odyssey-door-lock-cylinder-honda-72146-s0x-a51/i/hodla00003?RUclips&CTA+Comment&WqcPHg3fkM
They can be rekeyed any locksmith with a pinning kit can rekey them. Would be cheaper than buying a new cylinder. Most Locksmiths would probably only charge 10-20 bucs if you took it to them.

I don't see how you're supposed to be able to do this without removing the window. I've gotten to the point of removing the retaining clip and now I've got to go back and remove the window.
Now that the window's out, I should add that you DONT need to remove the window track; JUST the window glass. And it isn't hard at all.

Wish I saw this a year ago. I tried replacing a different part in the same area (that didn't fix it) but I also managed to bend the crap out of my window track. I have crank windows so it's still possible to get it down, but it takes a lot of effort. I might go back in and replace the window track.
Great video I have a 04 Honda Accord and I need to change my cylinder. Is it a must to have a second key now after replacing it the cylinder?
+tradedavid Yeah, when you change out the cylinder it typically comes with a new key that's specific to it. The old key only works in the old cylinder. Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You can get the new cylinder re-keyed to match the old cylinder before you install it - some locksmiths will do it - or do it yourself if you really like a challenge (though the tumblers that you will need to match your old key are hard to find)
No. The OE cylinder may be made to work with original key so you do NOT have to add a new key to your keyring. Just paid $30 at a local locksmith today for the service. It took less than 10 minutes.
You did not SHOW how the the clip goes back in place to hold the lock cylinder in place! How do you put the clip back in place?
Great video thank you
Thanks for this video. 4 minutes in and I already made the decision to pay the $130 (CAD) to have the dealer install and re-key the new lock, it's just not worth my time. ;)
which dealer will do this for only $130CaD?
Great video, Thank you!
Is this the same for the civic si 2002 through 2005 hatchback?...Meaning..the lock itself...not the panel's disassemble layout/etc
Cost for part(s) and labor if repaired in the shop?
Prob $60 for a $13 part and 200-$300 for labor. Better to just do it yourself.
The one part of the video that shows disconnecting the lock cylinder from its assembly is not explained clearly and unfortunately that is the
Most important part of the video.
The hardest part is the C-Clip and you really glossed over taking out and didn't even mention putting it back in. That being said it was a great starter and not hard to find a video that shows the c-clip removal and reinstall. ruclips.net/video/n8vmNnaVsic/видео.html&ab_channel=TRQ
Excellent video
+Roberto Torres k Thank you!
+Roberto Torres k Thank you!
I wonder if this tutorial will work for a 2004 Honda Element?
So u have to get another key for the new lock ?
Gotta love how difficult honda decided to make this so most people have no option other than taking it to a shop.
+Chase Lanier Thanks for checking us out. Shop for high quality auto parts on 1AAuto.com:

Yes all of this is easy. Show me how you put the spring back behind the lock.
Did the key come with the new lock? Do y’all sell this?

Does the window glass need to be removed on 4dr models in order to access the door lock/handle assembly?
Can i take the working key lock from the passenger side , and put it on thr driver's side?
Great demonstration but I think I’m going to leave it the way it is. Soon as I saw the window come out and the door handle removed, I changed my mind.
🤣🤣
Me too. So I just got an alarm with power door lock to open the doors. Costed me $130
Is it the same for a 1997 truck
Awesome job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Does the window need to be removed on a 2004 Civic LX 4 door? The Honda Service Bulletin 03-068 says to raise the glass fully.
+N Poehlman If there is a service bulletin out that states this, it may be the case. Thank you for the added tip!
does anyone know where to buy the c ring that holds the lock in place?
Would this apply to a 2005 Honda civic sedan (4door) LX?
+Tadthebrave The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I gave up on the pin thing holding the lock in and took it out with a 3/8 socket extender and a deadblow hammer since I was replacing the handles anyways 😂
I dont think is as easy as it looks. But thanks. I might break the clips inside the lock .
Do you need to take the window out at all?
I have a 2004 Honda Civic four door value package. The aftermarket part #1ADLC00004 did not fit. The aftermarket cylinder is like an 1/16 inch to short to fit into the groove for the stupid clip to hold it in place. Great video, but the stupid clip is an absolute NIGHTMARE to get off if you're not familiar with it. They don't mention anything about the mild to moderate difficulty of removing a manual window crank handle. They don't highly emphasize the importance of completely unbolting the outer door handle assembly. The two flimsy glued on post bolts are very easy to break off the outer door handle assembly. I had to go to the junkyard to replace the broken door handle assembly because I didn't loosen those two bolts while prying the top of the handle back to push down on the stupid door lock cylinder retaining clip. I highly recommend getting an OEM lock cylinder or one from the junkyard, not the piece of shit aftermarket one they sell. I also learned that it's possible to rekey the ignition switch to match the new door lock cylinders if you get an OEM cylinder. The shitty aftermarket cylinder key is completely different than the OEM key and therefore it's impossible to rekey it to match the ignition key. I wasted at least 5 hours on this stupid project. 1AAuto gave me a full refund without having to ship the piece of crap aftermarket door lock cylinder part back. I'm very frustrated, but at least they made it right without a hassle.
Wish they explained and showed more detail at 5:00. Also I cannot find a video for removing the lock cylinder for 2003 Accord. Hate how Honda designed this.
+Dipen Chauhan We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
You need to tell the people to index the slots when installing the actual keyed lock into the door handle or theyll break the part where the spring clip goes on the door handle like i just about did
I do this, you on the other hand may replace one of my fuel injectors lol.
my lock cylinder doesn't just 'pop out' like the video shows, what am I missing?
there's a retaining clip which you pull out from the bottom. similar idea to how the window cranks are held in
Nice video until you get to part where you remove the spring clip from the back of the cylinder, not easy, and you don't show the clip so we know what we are trying to remove, and also, you don't tell how you get that clip back on when reinstalling the cylinder, this was the hardest part of the whole job, and you just ignored it.
Good afternoon I need video to replace to cylinder the honda odyssey 2003
Would this apply to a 2002 model.?
+Jesus Pardo This would be a very similar installation for your vehicle.
good video, but.....i hoped it explained how hard it is to replace that U shape pin back into the cylinder after u install it into its place, that was real hard.
Ruben Dominguez how did you get that shit out been an hour im trying not to lose my shit rn
i had a freggin hard time to, u got to get a sharp ass tool with hook and fish it out, dig that tool inside that pin and hopefully u get it.
Ruben Dominguez I was worried about this step too since the video wasn't clear on the pin. Watched a few other videos and studied this before attempting. So long as you grab the pin from underneath with a hook and pull it out, everything is cool. I put the pin back on the cylinder chassis before reversing the steps to reinstall. I then had to push with my ratchet extender to clip the lock assembly back in place. Everything took me less than 90 minutes, and that's with re-pinning the lock with new wafers to fit my existing key. Nice explanation guys.
John Schafer were your pins stuck?? Or what was wrong with them ?? Bent springs?? Lmk please i will be working on one tommmorow.. its only 15$ for replacemet door locks online..
How the heck do you get the cylinder back in once the retainer is in there!? It won't click or go in all the way! Especially at the 7:23 mark of the video.
How do u replace the c clip tho
nice
Would be similar if i were to replace my 2000 honda crv key hole cylinder?
+Paul Laygan It may be a different procedure on your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com
Is there any way to get the door lock key to match with your current key?
+Joe Tintin When you replace it, you have to use a new key unfortunately. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com?RUclips&CTA%20Comment&ATony 866-403-3393
Once you buy the lock cylinder, you can take it to a locksmith to make the lock match your key. I did it and they charged $45 per lock (Fall 2016). Your locksmith may vary.
Have a locksmith rebuild the original lock.
Some of us just aren't mechanically inclined, I'll have to pay for this to be done by a professional lol
+Roger Thanks for watching. Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
hi friend. my odyssey 2003 do not open the lock with my remote control of the slide door of the left side. how can I fix it.?can you give me some instructions please.
+Anibal Peña Thanks for watching! If the issue is only with one of the doors then you will want to first check the door lock actuator! www.1aauto.com/honda-civic-odyssey-door-lock-cylinder-honda-72146-s0x-a51/i/hodla00003?RUclips&CTA+Comment&WqcPHg3fkM
1A Auto Parts hi friend I am talking about sliding door. not about cylinders on front doors. The left sliding door does not open. The lock does not move. I need to move manually the boton in order to open the sliding door.
No "trap door" to get panel off. Looks like you are working on 2 door. Different than sedan.
What happens if you skip the disconnecting the battery wire part?
+littlesongbird1 You should be okay, however it's good practice to disconnect the battery whenever working on anything that's electrical on your vehicle. If any of our viewers need to make this repair on their vehicle, here's a link to door lock and key shown in this video. We also offer free shipping in the US www.1aauto.com/honda-civic-odyssey-door-lock-cylinder-honda-72146-s0x-a51/i/hodla00003?RUclips&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Thanks. I don't think I need the parts. My dad and I Replaced the door handle a few weeks ago and the lock cylinder has slid into the door. He did however get the handles from you guys.
I did not remove the battery cable when I did this tonight. We had a hard time last year when the battery went dead, the radio would not come back on without a special code. After some searching, we found it on Google, I didn't want to hassle with that here.
1A Auto Parts g
He completely skip pull and replacing the clip. And why take the door handle out? There was no reason.
No door lock cylinder at a1 auto
Forgot about the clip?
You guys are probably great mechanics, but horrible videographers lol. Good video anyway because it helped me get started
+Michael Soria Thanks for the feedback! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
I hoped this would be a DIY, but this is too much for me. Sadly I'll have to take it to my mechanic where he will find 3 other things he's going to claim needs repair.
Average estimate for Honda door lock cylinder replacement!
Why remove the window??
To get to the horseshoe clip off but just get a pick set like dental picks at harbor freight and pull out. Installing it back in is where the cussing starts.
+Ricky Harkless Thanks for watching! You will most likely need to remove the window to get the best access to perform this repair.
You can't have the lock rekeyed?
+Michael King Thanks for watching! This video is to show viewers how to replace the lock cylinder if needed. If you can have it re-keyed then that is fine, but usually these types are not able to be re-keyed. You can purchase new lock cylinders here: www.1aauto.com/honda-civic-odyssey-door-lock-cylinder-honda-72146-s0x-a51/i/hodla00003?RUclips&CTA+Comment&WqcPHg3fkM
They can be rekeyed any locksmith with a pinning kit can rekey them. Would be cheaper than buying a new cylinder. Most Locksmiths would probably only charge 10-20 bucs if you took it to them.
7:22
Stuck on the retainer lol
U go too fast I catch
5:36 Is the reason I disliked this video cuz he did not show how it was done all the way through
+jayjay P Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
Where can I buy a new clip. Wtf they use flimsy ass clips
+t dub You should be able to get a new one from the dealer. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
