[2004 HONDA CIVIC EX] Can't tell you how helpful this video was in solving my issue. The dealer wanted $1400 (parts and labor) and O'Reilys wanted $850 (part only). Amazon had the part for $60 but not 100% compatible but got the job done. Thank you again and highly recommend anyone who needs a cheap fix

Can u leave a link to the one you bought I have the same car and model and my key gets stuck in the ignition and won’t let go of my key
Hey where did you get the part please let me know and what part thanks
Ok just wanted to share my experience. This worked like a charm! Took aboutv30 min, if that to get the ignition off. Locksmith charged me 50 to fix the lock. Putting it back took longer due to user error! My husband put the ignition back without the spring! Smh 🤦🏻♀️ took us a lot long to get the pin out this time. So remember don’t forget the spring!! Lol my daughter is one happy girl to have her car back!! Thank you so much for saving us so much money!! 🙌

You are the man! This repair worked as advertised. Once I drilled a small depression where you suggested, the lock assembly just popped out on it's own, since it was spring loaded. Why it works, I do not know. The locksmith here in NW Florida charged 40 dollars to repair the lock cylinder. I destroyed the first cylinder trying to fix it. A replacement from UHS in Miami was purchased for 30 dollars including shipping. Thank you again. Video has all you need to know. Be very careful with that lock roll PIN. It came out on it's own, too and is difficult to see and find once it gets loose.
took me a couple hours but it ended up being a $20 fix instead of $500+ thank you

Thanks for the video, watched a couple from others as well. Just fixed my 06 pilot using your techniques. Saved $215 not buying the entire assembly. Didn't bother going to lock smith. Once I got the cylinder out I removed that top arm thingy, then a small hole was drilled to allow access to drive the pin out holding the end of the cylinder together. Pull the lock apart and it was easy to see which wafer had failed. Pulled that wafer out along with it's matching pair, cleaned everything up and reassembled. Worked great ZERO COST! Awesome! There is like 10 wafers in there, removing 2 of them is no biggie.

@@BudgetClan2 Questions: 1, Are the wafers different custome sizes, or are they adjusted to size? 2, If you took them all out then any key would work?
@@leonstitanius8377
All the wifers got number on them, just to make sure you’ve putting back the same wifers.
If you’ll remove all of them, you’ll be able turn the ignition cylinder with the screw driver, but you won’t be able to start the car because of the immobilizer.
@leonstitanium8377 as your remove more and more wafers more keys will work. there are some number of standard water sizes (such as 1-9) and they correspond to cuts in the key. you can get sets (or singles) of replacement wafers but a new wafer may not play nice with a worn key. usually they wear at the same rate. sometimes you can replace a wafer with a different size than original to match the new key shape better. these Hondas have security chips in the key, so even if you removed all 10 wafers and could just turn the cylinder with a screwdriver, you still couldn't start the engine without a programmed key. thus most people don't really care about removing wafers and technically lowering security. it's more of an issue with the door locks since they also wear out but don't utilize the key's chip. remove half of the wafers and probably at least half of these type Honda keys will open the door. may not be a problem where you live. thieves aren't walking around with rings of Honda "tryout" keys they just smash the window lmao.
It worked. Dude thank you for the video. I did this for a friend who is a full time minister on a limited income, so not having to spend $$ to fix h I s car was brilliant.

Thanks man! Getting the pin out was tricky but this helped me. Saved about 340 bucks

@@BudgetClan already done man. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the video. Took about an hour. I left two waffers in the back to hold the key. If you smack the key lightly before taking out the 4 screws, the pin may not need to be drilled. I used a welding tip brush to pull it out. Used a .010 larger roll pin when I reinstalled it. Thank you so much for this video

Great clip man thanks
Thanks for the help man
I have bought a few hondas with this problem. I do it this way and reach back to the switch with a screwdriver and drive them home to fix the cyl. The wafers inside get bent. Remove the bent ones along with the tiny springs and its fixed. ( videos of how to do this are on YT ) To remove the whole thing is a pain. This saves at least a cpl hrs of work. Great Video.
I'm stuck with the same issue after trying everything else, i believe has a bent wafer. Any tips or tricks? Luckily happened when me and the kiddos pulled into the driveway
@@welivelife I put 2 videos and prob 30 lines of explanation. They seem to have dissapeared.

@@Denver1976Man dammit. yeah I buy and sell cars as well 20yrs mostly stay with these bowties tahoe silverado ls shit. But these lil 4cylinder Hondas are gold as well. Until wafer gets bent which truly feel like thats wat it is
@@welivelife it most likely is. I know Hondas and Toyota's pretty well And as much as I like honda's. I do not have to work on my Toyotas. routine maint and drive them 300,000 miles or more. Hondas will too. But ya have to work on them. One of the hondas i bought and fixed the cyl. My 1st one. All the wafers came out. No one knew. But anything could turn it over. But the key still had to be near the column...lol.
Worked for me thank you 🙏
Wow amazing....glad u got it to work!
Just did this. But without a drill--screw a tap into that roll pin and it pulls right out. You have to have a small enough tap, but it beats this kind of jailhouse method. Otherwise, excellent video and thank you for getting me part way!
Thanks! Trying this method after the drill didn’t work. Taps ordered 🤞
What size tap you use?
@@Crypto4x I bought taps ranging from M1 to M3.5, didn’t work for me though. I broke the tap off in the pin. I would up having to dremel off that block all around the pin so I could get pliers on it. I’ve got a long comment here somewhere detailing all I did.
Your the freaking man bro!!!!!
Thanks I appreciate it!
@@BudgetClan Your channel title lives up to its name 👍 🙏 🇺🇸
Just did this today on my 04 civic. The roller pin was hard but was able to get it with a small reverse drill bit going slow. Took cylinder to locksmith to get fixed paid $150 others were charging $250! Still saved just replacing the entire housing would of been $550 plus tax just part not including labor extra keys and programming extra also.

Ty for the Tip ✅
Well, I have to say, the extraction part certainly worked on my 2004 Honda Civid. I didn't even have a proper metal drillbits, just a "regular" for-wood bit worked just fine, with a little extra effort (as long as you don't care about grinding it off). I started with 1/32" size, and my tunnel was a bit sideways. After switching to 1/8" bit, the lock's core just popped out by itself as soon as I hit the pin (which dropped out on the floor, w/o too much damage). The spring and the "bulleye" are just resting in their designated place.

That is great that you were able to fix it
nice video - my 2003 Honda Accord EX is very similar but there is a 4th screw in the back to get the second cover off (green in your video, grey on my vehicle)...clearance is about 3/4 inch, even smaller than any bit I have. Had to stop the job today to get an offset screwdriver and going to try tomorrow. Looking forward to finishing this out using another video showing how to knock the rest of those pins out :P wish us luck
update: got the 4th screw out...wasn't pretty and had to get it at a slight angle due to low clearance but managed to get it out with minimal stripping. I see a comment below about putting a bit in a vice grip that seemed to work for them. The right tool for the job should make this easier :P
Aand success!! We were able to fix the lock at home using this video instead of bringing it to the locksmith. Super easy to do the whole fix (at least with our lock): th-cam.com/video/CNYHcSEY3TY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
I have the same exact model and year and came across the same problem as well. Another solution if you have a buster like mine and dont care is to get a chisel and hammer. Go at it at an angle and the top screw eventually twists off. After that the key ignition just slid out lol. Didnt even need a drill, took it to a locksmith and fixed it for $40
Everything worked like a charm. Thank you. Key now turns, steering wheel unlocked. BUT now it turns over and doesn’t start. Key light is flashing. Wonder if something needs to be reset in the security system. Any ideas?
Great video
Thanks
Awsome thanks
Good job
Melhor vídeo de todos
Thanks
Good video...
Nice video
So im at the part where i need to take off the black covering of the key ignition hole as i did take off the three screws as you saaid at 1:24 i found a other screw holding the black thing so it won't come off. Do you have any suggestions on trying to figure out how to get that screw off but can't think of a solution without taking more off of the steering wheel off which I really don't want to do.
The best instruction I've seen.
Without taking the housing off. Thank you.
I was a little confused about drilling a hole down. It looks l like the pin was perpendicular. Did the drill hit the pin? Did the hole allow you to push the exposed pin sideways?

Freaked me out for a min! I thought you had 3 hands dang man.
Nifty ! VERY similar is a 2007 pilot. Just remove the wafers from the cylinder or at least the bad ones, its pretty easy to tell by playing around with the removed naked cylinder, they come right out. Perhaps leaving at least 2 that function fine just to help grip the key is a good idea. On mine, it was the mid to outer ones acting up & I only left the very rear pair after cleaning everything well. That electronic PCB ring requires the key even though you could turn the lock with just about anything, if you remove all of the wafers. Why chance another one acting up later on ? & even if that wasn't the case, who would know ? I guess unless you live in like thE worst neighborhood. But you do indeed need the actual key on these systems anyway. That 3rd rear screw is a bit tricky(a 90deg small offset driver is needed) but it is essentially a FREE 1 hour(ish) fix.
Rock solid advice. I'm staring at these wafers and now I know what they are! Appreciated in Seattle.
Nice one
Thanks for the video, really helped, but can you or anyone tell me what's the purpose of this electronic piece that comes on the keyhole plz. got mine done the same way as you did on the video and the key was able to turn again, only thing that's not working is my keyless entry fob, it's not working when the plug is connected, but when unpluged everything works fine, anyone can help ? thanks
1:27thats when you have this part, the party where if you don't have the right Phillips bit and an 8mm wrench you'll never remove
Thank you for the idea I've been getting pissed at that screw
Its blocked by the wiper control dhit right? Ive been trnna figure out how to get this screw out
@@wanghawk1602 right angle screwdriver
perfect
I will probably need to do this soon as my lock is playing silly buggers, have to jiggle the key in and out slightly while attempting to turn it, it does turn in the end. Pretty sure its on its way out.
Hope it worked out!
Thank you
Thanks
Keep up the good work and pls shout me in ur next video
Thanks
My civic key wont turn tried greasing it up but still won’t turn,is there way that I can turn it over without replacing anything like bang a screw driver in the ignition or take out the ignition piece and turn it manually like on an old dodge??
Whaouh, c'est top
Thank you! would this be applicable to 2004 accord v6 EX?
Could be similar
Nice viddeoo keep it up
Thanks
Great
Great video. Lock fixed. Was a bent wafer which I removed. However on returning the barrel to the housing I cannot get the lock to turn and release steering lock. Out of the housing it works fine. Can’t figure out why?
Did you ever figure this out?
@@tylermulligan2800 I did get it sorted. I can’t remember how though🤦♂️.
Does this method work for a 2013 Honda Civic?
great
How did you get the screw off the second little cap before the board is exposed I can't get a screwdriver in that small area... I have my car in pieces out in my parking lot right now and I can't get past that little black cap
Offset screwdriver
What happens if the locksmith can’t fix the lock? Would it still work with a new lock? Can the chip in the key be moved to the new key?
It's a good idea
Thanks
At 3:20 where or how did you push the nail down? Sorry I'm confused at that part
Did you ever get an answer? Confuses me too. I don't see how drilling a hole 90 degrees to the roll pin bore helps. Unless it somehow loosens the roll PIN already in the bore.
Nice
Thanks
I lost my key can i just break off the pen and use a honda key to start it?
Please what model year of Civic is this?
good.good
Thanks
Great video! Thanks for saving me ca$h
Great video and good work. But I just stumbled into the cheapest fix. Just get a new chip key made. You wouldn't think it c p controls that much but it does!!!!Blew my mind I did it on a hunch and now my car starts and runs like new!!!
Will this work on a 2003 Honda CRV?
Good
Thanks
Would this work on a Honda Civic 2013
Hell ya bro mad props I almost took the whole thing out

nice

How exactly did you get the pin out? Put a nail in there & hit it with a hammer basically?
If you drill high like he did, the drill bit pushes it out
I have a 05 accord, I have to turn the key hard and just right for the car to turn on,it’s almost like something is not lined up..
Should I just replace the the cylinder?
You can if you feel comfortable dng the job... but if you don't feel comfortable do not do it because you can be without an ignition and you can create worse problems.. please let me know in any way how I can help
@@BudgetClan thanks for the quick response
I loaded a video on my TH-cam channel can you take a look and tell me what you think
Thanks-
what do you use to remove those little screws? what fastener is it they use there ?
- nothing in my box will grip to them
Same here what did you end up using
Ótimo
Thanks
رائع نظري ممتاز
Thanks
I drilled and cannot get the pin exposed. Not sure what else to do
wow
If I replace the lock cylinder and it comes with new set of keys will I need to program the keys to the car?
I can answer that. The new lock cylinder can be disassembled by a locksmith and the wafers that fit your old key installed. The wafers are widely available, e.g. Advance Auto. No reprogramming required.
Assuming you still have old set of keys.
will this work on my 2015 honda civic or only certain years?
Posibly... there still very similar...you would need to inspect the housing!
For anyone with the screw in the back style, use an offset screwdriver. Impossible to remove unless you take the entire assembly off 😂
Same problem 😢
Use a 1/4" drive socket screwdriver. I superglued a bit into a small socket and was off to the races.
@JC Haywire Boi an offset screwdriver is 7 buckaroos
Next dayed at offest from bezos, off to the races! Make sure it’s a very low profile!
Last owner stripped this screw 😭im literally fucked
I drilled holes all long that metal piece I can't seem to find the pin
no way. im nervous as hell to be drilling into that. this other guy took the whole lock apart and cleaned out the little tumbler things.
I was nervous also... but there was no way i was gng to pay $500... luckuly everything is awesome!
Great trick. It works better than you expect. Don't know why. Drill baby drill! Seriously, didn't have to drill much. Just a small depression and miraculously with my 2004 Civic, the lock cylinder popped right out. Was not expecting that!
Mine turns outside but when I put it in it doesn't turn. Do you know what that could be?
Incredible video and very detailed.

There is no need to drill the body, just use a thin knife blade to pick it up and it will jump out on its own.
Good info... Glad we can help each other!
This work for an ‘04 Honda Element?
Possibly...
Saving me 400$ just for the part from Honda if i do it right, that’s not including labor even tho I’d do it myself if I ever bought the part.. hoping this works for me
I really hope it does...please keep me updated and let me know what happens!

@@BudgetClan i got you
At 1:23 my car has a screw that keep the black cap in place. There is very narrow space which makes it hard to unscrew. Is there a way around this?
i have this same problem, have u figured it out ?
I have the same problem too
Im going to try quarter inch open end wrench with a small philips drill tip
Offset screwdriver
How do you get the 3rd screw out?
Had trouble with that too. Used a ratchet. That worked
This happened to me last night, is there any way I can start it with a screw driver to get it home?
Yes onece you release the barrel you have access to turn on the vehicle with a screw driver
@@BudgetClan thank you much appreciated, also if I was to order a whole new tumbler would I still need the key reprogrammed?
@@BudgetClan and. Does the car have to read the key? Or should I just b good to put a screwdriver in it and get it started??
@@dionte5819 you would need to have the key next to the transponder and make sure its connected when you try to turn the car over
