TR3B: Trouble replacing Ignition Lock Cylinder

["David Moag" <moag@ix.netcom.com>]

Hello again,

I'm trying (for a long time now) to replace the ignition lock cylinder. I
just can't seem to get the new one to go in (purchased from VB if that gives
anyone a clue). It acts like it hangs up on the little "knob" that pushes up
to lock the cylinder in place. It measures about the same (as close as I can
tell) as the original (which goes back in with no problem), but the spring
mechanism that pushes that little knob up is much stiffer on the new than
the old.

Does anyone have any tricks for how to fit this back in?

Thanks,

Dave Moag
