Remove the handle from the tailgate via the two bolts. Then you will see two Phillips screws that hold a cover plate to the handle, remove the screws and the lock barrel will come out. Keep the parts in the order that they come out. There is a slot in the handle so you can only fit it one way.
Likely a RRC of that age will have a separate smaller single sided key - mines an '86 & that's what it has.
Nope, far too big.
Yes, that's what I'm assuming as well. I also have a '72 RRC (albeit with a shell from the 80's) which has exactly that.
I have 3 RRC's from the 90's, so I didn't know about the smaller key. I do know that the ignition key from the 90 will open the 93's tailgate and a tailgate on a mate's car, as well. Do you have a tailgate key for the 72? It might work.
Tried that!
Hi. The shaft you can see is the plunger that is activated by the Chrome push button. This moves freely in and out and doesn't inhibit this 'gasket' in any way.
I've found a replacement plunger a 'bit' cheaper, but it's still £70 !!
PlusGas.
TBH I have had to Google that....is it really any better than WD40 ?
WD40 is, as the name implies, a Water Dispersant, not a release agent, PlusGas is certainly better for seized bolts etc.
