Title: Boot lock cylinder Post by: curlslinc on November 29, 2011, 05:57:33 PM Hi all , any ideas on how to install - how does that back plate hold the cylinder lock in place, tricky holding with your finger !
Title: Re: Boot lock cylinder Post by: fcwrangler on November 29, 2011, 07:19:50 PM It helps to have a second pair of hands, you need to make sure the plate is in place first, then place the barrel&arm through the boot & the plate. Make sure the arm is located in the lock fully & then push the plate up over the tabs in the barrel. It can be a bit of a pain due to the lack of room but you just need to keep at it.

Or get a 360 degree swivel wrist would also help. You thing you have the little bugger and you feel again and its not between the little grooves.

Thanks, Jim Title: Re: Boot lock cylinder Post by: ekute on November 30, 2011, 08:55:30 PM Decking will help!Then you don't have to put it back in.....
