5. Starting with position (1), insert the tumblers (2) into their corresponding slots in the coded order.
6. Using your fingers, pull out the side bar (8) until the tumblers fall completely into the lock cylinder.
7. Insert one tumbler spring (3) above each tumbler (2).
8. Lubricate the tumblers using Synthetic Multi Purpose W/PTFE Superlube GM P/N 12346241 (Canadian P/N 10953474).

10. Use a flat-bladed tool to firmly press the retainer (1) down until the lock cylinder is fully seated in the lock cylinder.
11. Inspect for proper tumbler installation:
1. Hold the spring retainer (2) in position.
