If your 560SL key starts to stick, is stuck, and won't turn, or you have lost your key, this is your solution. In the first two situations, your lock is probably worn out, and trying to change out the tumbler will not solve the problem. If you have lost your key, you will most likely have to damage your current lock assembly to get it out of the car. A complete new assembly, as shown, is your best solution, and YES, you can do it yourself with Kent's 40-minute video class, as well as his PDF DIGITAL Manual igniton lock removal, which is included free with purchase!
Product Details
NOTE ON INSTRUCTIONS: The video instructions included say to 1985, but 80 percent of the instructions included will apply to the 560SL, including the location of the pin that must be pushed in or ground off to get the steering lock out of the column and get the ignition switch off the back if you have lost the key or you can not turn the tumbler. The instructions DO NOT COVER every detail of removing the dash trim and under-dash panel on a 560SL but you can find that information online if needed. If the key will not work or is missing, you will need something to grind the pin off. We highly recommend the special removal kit that Kent has put together. See related products below:
