Ignition Lock cylinder question....

Well I bought one off a guy from here and trying to intalls but it dont go all the way in....anybody know any tricks of putting the key cylinder in the ignition???please help and thanks in advance

compare the two to make sure they are the same. ive replaced a ton of these and they are often different for some reason, even the ones from the parts stores that are suppose to be the right #. Last time I replaced one I had to cut some off the long rod that comes out of it, which kept it from going all the way in.

For as easy as lock cylinders are suppose to be they always give me a headache.

lmao....what i was thinking....I like fuck did plenty opf these on chevys and stuff...go to do it on my honda I cant get the fucker back in....cant compare it with old one....destroy from a theif stole my car....gonna have to go to kragens tell them show me lik 6....but everything goes in fine seems like I am hitting something...keeping it a cunt hair from going in....

i got the same problem with mine and it is the original one.
