lock still stuck 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Mahnken on  Fri Jan 31 09:24 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have an 89 760 with the same problem. For the time being, I just swapped the passenger side lock with the driver side. I tried some liquid wrench in the stuck lock with no luck. I took it to a lock smith and he pointed out that you need to grind (destroy) off the outer stainless faceplate to get the assembly apart than you re-assemble with a replacement. The dealer wants $85.00 for a replacement (same keying). One thing I thought of but haven't had the chance to do is placing the lock in an ultra-sonic cleaner with a solvent. I've got a large one at my disposal but if it works a smaller commercial version for jewelry may work.

Good Luck

Steve
