I bought a new rack for my new car as the one on my previous car was not compatible. I would like to remove the lock cylinders from the old rack and reuse them and I have both keys-the master and the one for locking/unlocking. The locking/unlocking key does just fine for what it's for-turning the mechanism 90' as needed. However, all the master key does is fit inside the lock. It won't turn at all in any of the 4 cylinders. Since the master key is symmetrical, it should not matter which way it's inserted. When I look at the assembly from behind, it appears as though the goal is to turn the mechanism 45/135' for removal of the cylinder. Sadly, the regular key can not be removed when the mechanism is in this 45/135' position.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me what I am doing wrong? Of all the forums I regularly use, this one seems to be the most topic friendly for my situation.
