How do I replace the door lock cylinders?
My 1988 firebird formula 350 needs a set of new door locks, and I don't have a manual, what's the best way to remove them?

Re: How do I replace the door lock cylinders?
it's fairly easy, remove the inner door panel (couple of screws in the armrest, another behind the handle, a last behind the little, quare firebird symbol, remove the orange manual door lock on the door panel, bottom half is held on by plastic clips, slowly pull on it and lift up on the panel should be able to remove the whole panel. at this point you should be able to look inside of the door and see the lock with a retaining clip on it, remove the clip, couple of rods, plastic dodads, you will figure it out from there.
