How to Replace the Lock on a Fiat Panda?

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

The lock cylinder is secured with a clip. Start by removing this clip using a flathead screwdriver. Once the clip is removed, you will uncover a tab with a spring that holds the lock; using the screwdriver, press to unlock the cylinder from the lock itself. Next, insert the key into the lock. With the tab pressed down and the key inserted, pull on the key, and you will have removed the lock cylinder from its seat. To reassemble the lock, simply follow the steps in reverse. This way, you will have successfully completed the lock replacement.
