on this 87 out here its got all three working locks and key,

would there be any reason to pull them ? i dont need them but maybe someone else can use them ? but arent they cheap at local parts stores ?


the rear lock is power hatch one, has a wierd plastic housing and cable deal i cant get it off ??


how do you remove the rear lock from the body ? that stupid plastic housing!


thanks

 

The rear hatch lock cylinder is held in place with a spring clip. The plastic housing and cable just pull off, see enclosed picture.

 

flat round retainer in bottom pic is it ?

how to remove it ?

whole housing is big and yellow plastic

humm
is it evne worh saving it ?

do i have to have it to install hatch release in my 82 t/a thats manual hatch ?


thanks

 

well i got sick of it and took big screwdriver and pried on the plastc housing two flaps that go over end of the lock cylinder, well i had to pry VERY hard and pull VERy hard it finally popped off end ot the lock cylinder it was on there REALLY good it was a PITA thought for sure i was gonna bvreak it and i did bend up the hatch opening weatherstrip lip real bad, thats how well it was on there, its a ***** to rmeove these damn

what a pain

the pic above isnt same as what is in this camaro, no flat round retainer or anything remotely close to that
there juast lock cylinder and the yellow round plastic cable spool housing that snaps on end of the cylinder and the cable

thats it

thanks

 

No, it is the clip that is circled in the top of the picture. I just circled the word retainer at the bottom of the page. The round item you refer too is a gasket. You asked how to remove the lock cylinder and this picture shows how.

 

ok

retainer points to gasket

so i dunno

but i gave up and MADe it come apart

thanks

 

Does the hatch lock cylinder still work well? I could use some new lock cylinders I think someone tried breaking into my driver's door and now I can't get my key in it all the way. PM me

 

yeah they all work fine i got them all removed today

i dunno what else to remove and save off it thats worth it, i think car is finally out of here tomorrow to shredder

no one seems ot have any clue as to whats any good on 87 camaros to save, seems to be nothing, no one is talking, so i guess its all worthless junk



thanks

 

Kinda hard to want parts off of a base V6 Camaro when everything on my car is better

The lock cyls and key would be useful though.
