Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement

[HelluvaEngineer]

I am replacing some parts in my M1009 steering column and while I'm in there I wanted to replace the lock cylinder to one that doesn't have the universal CUCV key.

Also, I pretty much have to now as the face of it just broke off as I was trying to remove it.
What is the trick to get it to release? It looks like on my 1984 it's the style where it has a tab in the back that you are supposed to depress.

In a related note, I just realized that the replacement I bought is the standard type where there is a pin that goes through a hole to retain the lock and then a screw over the top to retain that.
Is it possible to convert it to that style?

I will add some attachments to provide context.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you took the bolt out that holds it in . Pop the key in and turn it to run and it'll pull out.

There was nothing in that hole. In my case I think this is the older 70's style release that is farther back.

Honestly if I don't figure this out in the next couple of days I'm gonna jam a small screwdriver in the back slot and liberally apply the slide hammer.

Ok did you turn the key to run and pull on it?

Yes, absolutely. That's when the cheapo cast cover broke off. What I'm trying to explain is that I think there were two versions of the lock cylinder. Some if the 84's apparently have this style. I do not have the pin nor the cover screw that most of them have.

Well I got nothing for ya then. I've rebuilt dozens of these straight columns and tilt ones and never had a problem pulling them out. You shouldn't pull on that cover just pull on the key wiggling it around to get it to release.

I've found that most of the M1009 owners have the newer models with the forward radio mounts. Unfortunately, mine seems to be a very early one. Apparently I got some leftover parts.

I did a little digging at youtube university.
At about 5:30 in this video it shows you how to remove the older style ignition lock cylinder.

Ohhh now I see where you're at. There's a slot that you can pop a pocket screw driver in and push in the lock retainer. That's odd that is in that truck. I think you can use the new style with the bolt but not sure. Might be easier to get the older style.
