How to change a lock cylinder in a 85 ramcharger?
remove the steering wheel from it and remove the lock plate then remove the turn signal unit from it enough so that you can get to the screw that holds the lock cylinder in place,you may have a hard time doing this though without a key to use on it,you have to have a special tool to remove the tension from the lock plate,that you can buy for about 15 bucks though at advance auto parts,and be sure and don't loose the round clip that hold the lock plate down ,its a very needed part,it should take you about 2 hours to do this job providing nothing goes wrong,good luck with it.
