What a PITA to get to!

Key just stopped turning correctly one day. It felt like it was kind of crunchy and dragging a lot and then it would not "bounce back" off the starter when turned all the way.

I was quoted $30 part and $250 labor.

I read this:

And was able to do the install myself in about 45 minutes. Actually work is about 5 minutes; moving my arms and fingers and head and flash light and screw driver around 1000X in a 2" space took the most time.

I would do it again.

 

Thanks for posting that. I hope I never have to use it.
