HELP!

 

My project for this weekend (my weekends are Sunday and Monday) is to get key remnants out of the driver's side door lock of the 94 Legacy. We were at the casino last night and the key broke off. I tried to grab it with the tweezers on my swiss army knife but that didn't work, and now it's stuck.

I was thinking if I were to take the handle off the door so I could hold it in such a way that gravity would work with instead of against me.

Also, does anyone know if these came with keyless entry as an option? I know when I had my Lumina van the remote was long since gone and the chevy dealer programmed 2 new ones for me for $25... If that's an option in this case I'd do it :)

 

Thanks!

First - keyless entry doesn't seem to have been an option. I have looked through the Subaru parts information and I can find kits for 95+ but not for gen 1's. That doesn't mean that an aftermarket system wouldn't work although I haven't investigated that.

 

As for getting the key out - pull the handle/lock assembly and you'll be able to get to the broken key from the backside of the lock. Should just push out with a small implement. Now would be a good time to lube all the pivot bushings of the locking and latching rods inside the door, and also some dry grease for the lock tumbler itself.
