Your door lock cylinders are not going to match your ignition after the changeout.....

Remove trim around lock cylinder and put key in acc position,then push button on top of lock cylinder with a scribe and pull on lock cylinder. Removal is the same as install but backwards. Pics sent to blackberry

What if you can't turn the key to the ACC position? I have a 1991 Lexus and can't turn the key. Any suggestions? Also, can you confirm the where the button is and how to depress it? I wasn't able to identify this button. I can send a picture if it is helpful.

Yes, the key worked for a year, slowly went bad.

This is from a 430 but is probably similar. It was mentioned that the key needed to be in the acc position to press in the pin.
