The lock-latch modular can now be removed and replaced. Two Torx type bolts (photo 5) hold the assembly to the lid and are readily accessible once the lid is opened. The existing lock cylinder is removable, with the modular out of the car, and can be reused. If a new lock cylinder is required, the part number for an unassembled lock, with tumblers is YS4Z5443503BB. The suggested retail price is $46.02.

Education, experience and ingenuity combined to solve this most interesting lockout problem. No amount of imagination could have solved the problem without some education or lots and lots of experience. Of the three, the quickest, easiest and most effective is continuing education. Continuing education is, through books, articles such as this, classes, seminars and trade shows, a very important element of our profession. Without it, we would be ignorant of the seemingly endless, annual changes in designs and features to the automobiles we so much like to "work on."

Learn and earn.
