How do you remove ignition lock from 91 Jeep Cherokee?
Assuming that you do not ( as suggested by the first answer) want the information in order to steal a car (which would take a while with the following procedure) it is
possible to change the ignition key lock on a 92 Honda Accord Automatic, although even the Honda service manual indicates that you must change the entire ignition switch (the entire apparatus that goes around the steering column and is held in place by two sheer bolts that have to be drilled out and require that you remove the steering wheel, the shields behind it and the instrument panel). Since I have changed the lock myself, without doing any of that, I know that it can be done. Also, the entire switch costs a fortune, whereas the lock and keys can usually be had on eBay for around $30.00.
First, take both cables off the battery. Before you do, make sure that your radio isn't one of those anti-theft jobs that needs a code when you hook the battery back up. If you don't have the code, no more radio.
Next, remove the shields behind the steering wheel. There are seven screws in the bottom shield, four threaded and three pointed. Remember where they go. After you have removed them, ease the portion of the bottom shield out from around the key lock, then it will be loose. If you have a tilt-wheel model, you will have to push the lever down (while holding the steering wheel where you want it) and then the shield can be pivoted so that it will come off the lever. Then push the lever back up.
The top shield will pull out from the top position with only minimal easing upward and outward.
After the shields are removed, you will see that the lock is behind the wiper apparatus and that the set screw (Philips head) can not be accessed in the normal manner. Don't give up yet. First, remove the illumination bulb from the plastic shield around the lock itself. Turn the bulb holder about ¼ turn and it should then come out of the housing. Then, remove the plastic shields themselves. There are three of them and they will all come off after you figure out how various plastic parts clip minimally onto the lock. It just takes a bit of working back and forth. When you have the shields off, you are ready to remove the lock itself.
At this point, insert the key into the lock and turn the lock to I. Leave it there.
Two maneuvers that would be very easy if the steering wheel were removed are more difficult this way, but they can be done with slow care and effort. First, the set screw has to be loosened, NOT removed. Using a good pair of needle-nose pliers, you can carefully turn the screw out until the lock will clear it (you can see the inner point of the screw where it blocks the locks removal, so you should be able to see when it no longer will cause such a block). Next, you must push in the pin that is part of the lock itself and comes up in a hole in the casing just a short distance back from the set-screw (you may need a flashlight to see the hole). Now, since you don't have the steering wheel removed, you can't simply push a small Philip's head screwdriver into the hole to compress the pin. You will have to use something like an Allen wrench (with the 45% angle) of the proper size to fit into the hole and carefully fit the end into the hole while holding the longer end. Even then, you probably won't be able to get enough pressure on the Allen wrench to push in the pin unless you carefully insert a flat-bladed screwdriver behind the wrench and lever it into the hole. I know, sounds like you need three hands, but if you are careful, and give yourself plenty of time, it will work.
Once you have the pin compressed, with your fourth hand you can work the lock out of the casing. Okay, sometimes the pin will pop back up and you will have to compress it again, but if you work the lock out as much as possible (just a hair) before compressing the pin, it will tend to catch the pin under the casing so that you can continue with removal.
When you have the lock out, you will find that it still has one wire connected to it by what appears to be a piece of plastic with the screw through it. Remove the screw, then, CAREFULLY pry up the end that the screw goes through and remove the plastic part by moving it slightly in the direction of the screw hole and lifting it up (there is a tiny tab at the other end of the part that fits into the lock, so you will have to put that end in first when you connect the part to the new lock). Okay, get your new lock, making sure that it is the same as your old lock and attach the plastic part and screw in reverse of how you took them off.
Now, with the new lock with key inserted and turned to I, carefully slide it back in in the same position as the old one was when you removed it. It should, perhaps with only a slight amount of pressure, click into place (the pin comes up in the hole). When that is accomplished, you should try the key to see that it turns through it positions easily.
If it does, carefully (using the needle-nose pliers) tighten the set-screw that holds the lock in position. Then replace the three plastic lock shields and put the illumination bulb back in simply by reversing the turn by which you took it out.
At this point, you should hook your battery back up and see it everything works as it should before you go through the trouble of reinstalling the top and bottom shields. Start the car.
If it starts, give it a short test drive to make sure it runs and shifts properly then turn it off, replace the shields and congratulate yourself on having done that which they all said couldn't be done.
Good luck.

How do you fold the back seats down in a 2003 Pontiac grand prix SE?
Make sure the front seat is not reclined. If it is, the rear seatback may not fold down all the way.
To lower the rear seatback, follow these steps:
Disconnect the rear center lap-shoulder belt latch, if equipped, by using a pointed object to press the release button.
Pull forward on the seatback tab located on the outboard side of the rear seat cushion to fold the seatback down. This gives direct access to the trunk.
Caution: If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.
Where is the starter relay on 1987 Jeep Cherokee Laredo?
I am having the problem many others have had when starting their jeep gc. I turn the key to start and hear one click then it turns off. Many people have said to find the yellow solenoid wire connecting to the starter and then to clean/wiggle it and that should solve the problem.
If everything goes dead after that first click, double check, clean and tighten both ends of both battery cables.
How do you fix a oil pan gasket on a 1994 ford thunderbird?
Most vehicles will require that you lift the engine to remove/replace the oil pan. You can usually get enough distance if you just disconnect the motor mounts and lift the engine 6 or 8 inches. You probably won't need to disconnect the transmission, electrical or any of the hoses if you do it that way. Otherwise you'll need to completely remove the engine and that is a bit of trouble.
Not sure about all years, but I have a '97 that I am, in fact, currently working on. You have to drop the exhaust (4 bolts holding a Y-shaped pipe to the manifold). The front two bolts are difficult, but you can get a wrench on them. The back two, however, I have yet to get a wrench on them. Sizes are weird, too. For instance, the front seems to be 23/32 and the rear a 19/32. But I'm not sure -- I'm going to a tool shop now and taking some bolts with me to see if I can match it up. I can tell you the rear bolts will have to be removed with a wobble socket, because there's no way to put a socket straight on them, and there's such limited movement around the nuts that I doubt Hercules could losen them because it would have to be done with the wrist alone. When you get the oil pan off, I do know the gasket must be siliconed in at four locations. Anyway, I would suggest purchasing a good manual on your year of Taurus. And if you decide to do it, be ready to mutter obscenities and get very grimey.

How do you change fuel filter 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
On my 1989 Jeep Cherokee, the EXTERNAL fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle's driver's side going into (or out of?) the fuel tank near the wheel well...it looks round & fat with fuel lines running out of both ends and is secured with a bracket or clamp. It is accessible , but in an awkward position to remove unless you jack up the vehicle a bit to allow some "elbow room". It looks like you will need at least a screwdriver, and maybe a small wrench and plier to rermove retaining clips around the fuel line hose on one end; not sure what connects the other metal line; you will have to look closer with better light! The internal fuel filter or "screen" is located INSIDE the fuel tank and requires lowering of the fuel tank to get to If anyone knows where the fuel pump RELAY switch is located, pls let me know ASAP, I have a "mobile mechanic" coming over Sat or Sunday to replace the fuel pump itself, and am hoping it may not be necessary if my relay alone is bad!
