Thanks d911 - have access just need to rekey.

And on that note… this is surprisingly easy.

Went to the JY yesterday and harvested a passenger side and trunk tumbler.
It’s fairly easy to remove them from their housings. Once they’re out, you just need to find the correct combination of leaves to rekey the tumbler.

The leaves are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. You test them by inserting your key and confirm your selection was correct by whether or not the leaf is flush with the barrel.

Between the two, I’m only short 3 leaves. Once I’ve removed the old busted tumblers who knows, there may be a few left that haven’t been destroyed.

Totally doable.
