How to Replace the Lock on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Key

The video is based on the lock of an Autobianchi Y10, but the lock is identical to that of a Fiat Panda as they are sister models. Start by removing the retaining clip of the cylinder using a flat screwdriver. Removing the clip will expose a spring-loaded tab that locks the lock, which you will push with the screwdriver to unlock the lock cylinder. At this point, insert the key into the lock. With the tab lowered and the key inserted, pull on the key, and you will have removed the lock cylinder from its housing. To reassemble the lock, simply follow the steps in reverse, and you will have successfully replaced your lock cylinder.
