  Q: How to replace the ignition lock cylinder on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A: The lock cylinder replacement process begins by disconnecting the battery negative cable. Turn off your sir system while you take out the Steering Wheel. To access the lower trim covers slide the retaining screw first then tilt the trim cover down before pushing it rearward until the locking tabs disengage. The lower trim covers can now be removed. Work to access the lock cylinder access hole by removing retaining screws from the upper steering column trim cover then lifting the cover. Stuff the snap-on a173a bent-tip awl through the access hole of the Ignition Lock Cylinder before you turn the cylinder to start. The bent tip should first apply pressure to push down the Ignition Lock Cylinder retainer. Once released the Ignition Lock Cylinder should be shifted to run before its removal from the lock cylinder case. Insert the new Ignition Lock Cylinder through the upper steering column trim while aligning its lock retaining tab and position tab with horizontal lock housing slots. Then push the lock cylinder fully into position. Secure the upper steering trim cover retaining screws using torque to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). Put the lower trim cover's tab slots into position with the upper trim cover's locking tabs before tilting the lower trim cover upward and pushing it to let the locking tabs connect. Screw the lower trim cover to the steering column while applying 1.5 n.m (13 lb in) of torque and finally reinstall the Steering Wheel. To finish the installation process enable the sir system before connecting the battery negative cable.
