As mentioned above, the later cars have a slightly different design in the lock mechanism. Changed sometime in the very late 80s or early 90s so that you must use a U-shaped wire instead of a single pin to release the lock cylinder. When I looked up info on changing the lock cylinder in my SDL, I found videos of both types on YouTube. Sometimes a video is worth a thousand pictures.
