Nanglebadger Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Right gents, quick question, got the drivers door card mostly off last nite, sliced a hole in the plastic, stuck a torch in to have a butchers hook (a look)....and the barrel appears to be SMOTHERED behind various bolted/screwed on bits of metal that may or may not be related to the outer handle and the catch mechanism.i understood that u should be able to pop the buggers out pretty easily, i dont want a body shop near my TRD interior panels so i wana pop them out myself, so im just wondering has anyone ever removed an EP91 door lock?rick did it on his old GT and said they just popped out, but they seem to be pretty well covered in there in an ep91. anyone got any tips??????Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 not yet, i cant get the door card fully off, is there a screw behind the window controls?? i doont wana take the TRD surround out unnecessarily incase it cracks and i wana pop these out myself as i dont want the bodyshop folk near my TRD interior.Phil.

Mikey Jay Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Surely if you can get the TRD panels out ok, leave them out then let the bodyshop do it, problem solved ;) Quote
Bourkey Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Right,You see all the stuff thats bolted to the door near the lock...Well pretty much all of it needs to be unbolted to get to it. I once changed my locks over when one was damaged and i do remember it being a real pain in the ass. There is also a little plate that slides out from the lock aswell. It's holding it on the door from the inside. Plus you get lots of cuts on your hands. It's brill.Get a 10mm socket (i think) and let us know in an hour how you get on.Bourkey Quote
StarletRick Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 just use a slide hammer. it worked a treat on my old GT when those cunts broke into it ^^took the whole barrel out in about 2 seconds. Quote
nic1.3 Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 just curious Phil Is it just the lock your taking out or are u taking out the door handle as well Quote
Nanglebadger Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 just the lock barrel nic dude!right lads i'll go have another look here, i'll leave the door cards and TRD panels off the car until its repaired and i have the front door cards redone with the stuff from Jay as i aint riskin wreckin my TRD panels!Phil.

NightSpirit Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 If you've got a central locking alarm, just smooth the locks out yourself and do without, save a bit of weight and add to the cars security. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 ^^^^thats wot im doin mark mate!My bro out smarted the locks, turns out all u need to do is remove door card, feel around for the metal fork shaped thing holding the barrel in place, yank that off, push the barrel through and then use a screw driver and hammer to argue the split-pin-like thingys holding the barrel to the lockin mechanism stuff...tadaaaaa job jone!Phil.

Bourkey Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I hate you! My fingers were cut to shreds and you come on here being smart saying you have found an easy way. pffffftttBourkey ;) ;) Quote
NightSpirit Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 was going to say, just pop the release grip/washer and the barrel will fall out...just like the gearbox linkage cables attached to the shifter ;) Quote
