Trunk lock is installed. Locks and unlocks with ease.

I have a new trunk actuator coming. My old one was seized up and locked in one position.

I also have a drivers door rebuilding kit. That will be next then on to the passenger door.

Painted and reassembled ready for install.

I tried to move my electronic lock for the trunk and it is locked solid. I guess I'll have to get a new one.

I thought I flung the bearing across my living room on the first install attempt. Went to 3 different hardware stores in between my appointments with no luck. I come home, sit at my table and see the damn bearing smack dab in the middle of my work station!!

^this is a smooth operator now.

I'm going to wire wheel or sandblast the black housing tonight and paint it up. After that dries I need to put this together.

I PB blasted the cylinder and took pipe cleaner and ran it through then brake cleaned the whole thing.

I took some 220 grit sanding paper and cleaned up the waffles on all sides so they slide smoothly. I'm only doing the first 4 waffles and not all 7.

Now I just need to grease everything up and reinstall. Tomorrow I'll finish up.

I will also wire wheel the black housing and repaint before install.

heres a picture i took of how I diagrammed the rebuild

of course, get a new key at the same time you rebuild the lock so they work the best together.  when I rebuilt the lock on my last e30, the original key was so worn it wouldnt work anymore with the rebuilt cylinder.

We need to move west.
