the key has to be in the lock cylinder in the on position to access the release button. if the key is broke your only option is to drill out the tumblers in the lock cylinder and insert a flathead screwdriver to turn the cylinder as you would with key.. you can not press the release tab with out the key being in the on position. if what your saying is you have the key in the on position, pressed in the release tab but it won't eject all the way, you need to fixate something to the cylinder to pull it out. if you have a slider hammer with a threaded end you can screw that in to the cylinder and pull it out. if you don't have a slide hammer handy, you can drill a self tapper bolt in it through a small closed end wrench and yank on it till it pops out a dent pulley also works wonders decipha@murdacapital.com

How do you replace lock cylinder mustang?

If you are talking about the ignition lock cylinder, turn the key to the accessory position, insert a paper clip into the little hole on the face of the lock cylinder to release the lock pin, turn the key a little further in a counter clock-wise direction and the lock cylinder will pull out. If you are talking about a door lock cylinder, remove the door panel, roll the window all the way up, pop the little clip loose on the lock rod that is hooked to the back of the cylinder and remove the rod from the lock arm, then pull the 'C' clip out that is holding the lock cylinder in place and push the lock cylinder out.

How do you change the clutch slave cylinder on a 94 Isuzu Rodeo?

First, check under the truck to see if it is the hose itself or the little copper washer between the hose and the slave cylinder that leaks. if it`s leaking from the front of the cylinder, change the cylinder. First you need to remove a little plate on the side of the transmission to be able to see inside the transmission when you will insert the cylinder pin back in the fork. you need a 14mm deep socket to remove the cylinder (2)bolts and a 5/8 wrench to remove the hose. remove the hose first.

How do you change master cylinder on 2003 Oldsmobile alero?

unplug electrical connector for the fluid level warning switch. remove as much fluid as possible from master cylinder, with a syringe or similar to suck out the fluid. take off the brake lines to the cylinder. pull lines away from cylinder, and cap the ends so you do not loose fluid from the lines. remove the nuts attaching master cylinder to firewall. pull the cylinder off of the studs to remove it. bench bleed the new cylinder before installing it. (that means to remove all air trapped in cylinder). fill up new cylinder with new fluid, and push on plunger of cylinder to release the air. do this until no more air bubbles are presant in cylinder. if no fluid is lost from the lines and all the air is out of the cylinder. there is no need to bleed all the brakes just bleed by remove lines at cylinder if needed.
