Key lock change
 

Evening all

So I'm rebuilding the subaru and it needs to have all the key locks changed. Anyone happen to have a "how too" for a bugeye for the driver door lock.

Subarus getting close too be ready now 😃😃😃

Looks nice, why don't you have a key? Would it not be easier to get a locksmith to come out and make you a key for the locks?

I'll post a how to tomorrow.

It started of as a bare shell mate so bought parts as I went along so the only original key is the steering column key. Door key is completely different and don't even have a lock in the boot so figured was easier to make it all one matching set

Ah ok, so you bought a matching set?

Exactly that mate. Just rather have a reference too look at first beforehand

Yea I understand, the amount of things you can damage, just not knowing what to remove or how. Always like to watch a video or something even if I know how to do a job.

Take the door card off.
Remove the plastic weather sheet.
Lower Window all the way down.
Top left of the door is a ~30mm circular cut-out. Through that is one of the 2 10mm bolts that hold the door handle. Undo it.
Raise the window all the way up.
To the right of the first door handle bolt, is the second 10mm bolt. Undo it. (this is screwing into plastic and may be corroded/snap the plastic threads).
Carefully pull the door handle off from the front.
Disconnect the 2 linkages attached to the door lock - one for central locking the other for opening. You need to rotate the lock.
Done.
Fitting is the reversal.
