Lock Cylinder Install Question

[robfg67]

I can't for the life of me get the lock cylinder back together. I found the instructions below in a search and it doesn't help. I just can't get the cylinder to make contact with the tab.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

LOCK CYLINDER

Removal

1) Remove horn button and steering wheel. Refer to the

STEERING WHEEL & HORN REMOVAL article. Remove turn signal switch.

Remove key warning buzzer switch and contacts as an assembly, using

needle-nose pliers.

2) On models with standard column, turn ignition lock

cylinder (clockwise) 2 detent positions beyond the "OFF/LOCK"

position. On models with tilt column, turn lock cylinder to "LOCK"

position. On all models, compress lock cylinder retaining tab and

remove lock cylinder from housing. See Fig. 1.

 

Installation

1) To install, insert key in lock cylinder. Hold cylinder

sleeve while turning key clockwise until key stops. Align lock

cylinder retaining tab with keyway in housing. Insert cylinder into

housing.

2) Push lock cylinder inward until it contacts lock sector.

Rotate cylinder to engage it with lock sector. Push lock cylinder

inward until cylinder retaining tab engages in housing groove. To

complete installation, reverse removal procedure.

Do you have tilt or standard column? Here's a couple of links with pic's for both that may help you out.
