Title: tailgate lock disassembly, how do I? - I need to get it rekeyed. Post by: MikeM on July 27, 2011, 09:21:36 PM Good evening everyone,
Can anyone help me understand how I remove the physical lock from the tailgate handle on my wagon? I have taken it to a locksmith and they advised they couldn't get the lock out to re-key it. I have taken the small pin out from 3/4 way down the handle (the squarish and bigger "pin" is still in). The lock does move slightly side to side in the T piece housing (for a fortnight I have been using WD40 and light tapping on a wooden block although I am pretty sure it was moving before anyway) but the lock itself wont come out. I know that for the ignition I have to turn it past lock and use a pin to pop the lock however the tailgate doesn't work like that and I cant lock or unlock it without a key anyway - I am not even sure if it is locked or not at the moment although I have been able to open the tailgate (I know how stupid that sounds but maybe it is just broken :). Any suggestions/experience anyone can share with me on how I might be able to fix this? Cheers Mike Title: Re: tailgate lock disassembly, how do I? - I need to get it rekeyed.
