How to Service a Non-Functional Ignition Lock Cylinder on Lincoln Continental?

Service the non-functional ignition switch lock cylinder by beginning with disconnecting the battery ground cable and observing a one-minute wait until the restraint system back up has emptied itself. Removing system activation from the supplemental restraint system will prevent severe personal injuries from occurring. The first service step involves you taking out the steering wheel after which you unscrew the cap on the ignition switch lock cylinder. Start by drilling an 1/8-inch diameter hole with the drill bit into the lock cylinder retaining pin before you use a 3/8-inch diameter drill to directed drill down through the ignition lock key slot until the ignition switch lock cylinder becomes free from its position. Discard the ignition switch lock cylinder and collect all drill shavings that accumulated in the steering column. Move on to extract both the bearing retainer and bearing and gear assembly while validating that drill particles are completely removed from the steering column and inspecting its state. The sequence for installing the components starts with placing the bearing followed by the gear and then inserting the bearing retainer. The installation of new lock cylinders must start with the column housing before adding the steering wheel for completion. To protect against severe personal injury enable the supplemental restraint system before making the final check of the ignition switch lock cylinder operation.
