i pushed lube in 10 times, no luck.
today i opened up the door and could barely see it for window tracks.
unhooked rod clip and sprayed the metal clip, pryed on a bad angle but it popped out. had to tap the lock inside to loosen it and got it out.
6 tumblers all moved with key in/out but no turn but now i could lube it from the top inside. used kroil and others. 3 tumblers were up and 3 down and i could move them all so it was the ? pins below and i was NOT going to take it apart! patience paid,wiggled with 2 keys,,,suddenly it turned!!!
the real job is ahead,getting it back properly so it dont fall out!
this is the pass side stuck since i got it in oct
later,,,it went together ez!! i was shocked..done 4 2day...
