  A: Must start Ignition Lock Cylinder service and repair with the following tools: the lock cylinder staking and holding fixture serves as j41340. Lock cylinder staking and holding fixture (J41340). Every key possesses double functions and can switch directions while master keys and valet keys include transponder chips that interface with vehicle security systems. Vehicle keys feature ten cutting positions spread over five depth levels while the master key includes a transponder component which activates all lock systems. Key cuts begin with retrieving the key code from either the key tag's 5-character identification or from the original Ignition Lock Cylinder. The lock cylinder requires tumbler slot positioning downwards when rotated while you keep it near a flat surface to extract the side bar. First note down tumbler positions before you put the tumblers into their coded sequence and apply one spring atop each tumbler. The tumblers should receive a coating of synthetic multi purpose w/ptfe superlube gm p/n 12346241 (Canadian P/N 10953474) followed by insertion of the spring retainer which requires pressure downward with a flat-bladed tool. Check the tumbler position before adding the lock cylinder in the j41340 followed by staking the spring retainer bezel end. Once the spring retainer achieves correct staking, use gm p/n 12345996 or equivalent lubricant to treat the lock cylinder retainer slot before orienting the retainer to the tapered notch and inserting the Ignition Lock Cylinder into the housing. Verify correct rotation of the lock using a key. Construction of the Door Lock Cylinder requires 7 tumblers from positions 3 through 9 while maintaining tumbler stability during the assembly phase. The endgate lock cylinder together with the i/p storage compartment lock cylinder require the same construction methods for assembly which include proper alignment of tumbler positions and springs while ensuring all components receive appropriate lubrication and secure mounting.
