johnny t Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 take the black covers off and just look at it and see where the screws are undo them and you should be right i havnt done much with that but ive taken off the covers and i remember couple of screws Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) ..or get a bigger hammer? :| Sorry, couldn't resist. Edited January 14, 2009 by 67Rolla-Ken Quote
SLO-030 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 If in doubt, use a hammer....the bigger the doubt, the bigger the hammer. If you can't fix it with a hammer. you've got an electrical problem :| Quote
canna Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 I don't know i had a pretty big hammer :| Taken the black cover of and there are no screws or bolts in ke30s that i can see. Its got me stuffed and i need the barrel for my project car. Cause i did not get the keys for it :jamie: Quote
SLO-030 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 i have some keys here you can try, might be lucky Quote
BReNt Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 It's been a while since i took mine off my car so I'm not completely sure but from memory once you have taken off the black plastic covers there should be two bolts underneath the ignition barrel just undo those and it should come off.

canna Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) No there not mate iv looked every were and tryed all sorts of shit. :| Thanks for the offer SLO-030 but iv got a new barrel lined up just got to get mine out and that one out as well. :jamie: Edited January 14, 2009 by canna Quote
Raven Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Do you want to remove the barrel from the housing or the housing completely from the steering column? Barrell from the housing requires you to turn the key to a certain point and push in the little button on the barrel to extract it from the housing. Quote
canna Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 Well i have the key for the other one so can get it out now cheers Raven But i don't have the key for my car So do i have to remove the housing or is there a simple way to take it of. Cheers Quote
Raven Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 See if another corolla key fits the one for your car. They're usually that worn out that another key will be able to turn it :| Quote
canna Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks Raven might have take SLO-030 up on his offer after all Cheers Jamie Edited January 14, 2009 by canna Quote
sammo[RL] Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Put the key in and turn ti acc, then using a fine pointed object, eg a ball point pen, push in the little button that should be facing you. Push it in and give the barrel a wiggle. should straight out. Its all spelled out in the manuel.... Quote
cuzzo Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 If you don't have the key you may need to drill it out. Quote
