A while back I remember the way to get the cylinder out is to put the key in, turn it and then you should see a way to get it out. I don't see anything, but I don't know what to look for. How do you get it out?

Ok hissin well heres my question for you. Once you get the cylinder out is it serviceable in the sense where I can open it up and put the key detents from my old cylinder in that one so I dont have a million different keys?
Urban's right on. I would not want to open one up (some Ford locks come with instructions and a kit to rekey them - I dont believe ours do).
I've had new ig. locks rekeyed for about 15 bucks (with having a couple spare keys made too). Definitely money well spent to have someone else do it if you have fat fingers and little patience like me.
Well I myself know that working for chrysler we open the cylinders and change the little keys in them to match the factory key so the customer doesnt have a million keys, that why I was wondering. Because its pretty simple with the chrysler units but I have never done one with the good old ford.
Do you have the lock cylinder yet? FOrd made sever different key codes (5 or 6). If you get a ford cylinder with the proper key code you can rekey the lock. I have directions for figuring out your key code...I know HISSIN I was supposed to post those up a while ago . I keep forgetting to bring them to school so I can scan them. Maybe I'll take a pic with my digi cam and post that up.
