    Defender/County Ignition Barrel/Lock Removal

    Hey all,

    Does anyone know how to remove the ignition barrel/lock of a defender/county?

    I have a feeling im going to have to drill the bolts out.

    Can anyone shed some light on this.

    Thanks

    Sean

    I cant recall exactly what the defender/county one is like, but if you can get a cold chisel on the side of the bolt head you can usually undo the bolts by tapping around with a hammer and chisel.

    I just used easy-outs straight into the bolt head recess. The bolts came out easy, just like they say on the pack No drilling or hammering and no damage.

    When I replaced my ignition/steering lock I drilled mine out. Couldn't get a cold chisel to do the trick.

    No matter what the problem - there's a solution. You've just got to find it.

    Removing the barrel is quite simple, using a center punch on the outer edge of the screw, turning it anticlockwise. Once they move a bit they become finger tight.

    Replace them with cap head screws.
