The right tool makes all the difference, especially in the case of spring locks.

Autozone has a kit that has 6 different sizes. Pretty good to have.

$10 for the kit of 6 at Autozone. Use the light baby blue one. Read the Bullitarchive article. Its easy and quick. Just be prepaired to have gasoline pour on you. I just did it Saturday...
