Toyota Repair: 87 camry ign. lock cyl. replacement, lock cylinder, toyota dealer


Question
I need to replace the lock cylinder because the ignition key was stolen, how can I remove the old one if I have no key to turn the cylinder to the ACC position?

Answer
There is an easier way to do this than drilling out the lock cylinder or replacing the entire lock assembly, also a lot cheaper. Remove the right side door panel and then remove the door lock, there is a number stamped on the lock, this is the key code, take the lock to the toyota dealer and they can make a new key using this number.
