    How do I remove the center console lock?

    Can someone tell me how to remove my console lock. I bought a used 1998 TJ console but didn't get a key for it. The lock is unlocked and works, it has a small allen key screw at the bottom and is metal. I am looking to get a new lock and key, but its very hard to find one. See 2 photos

    98 TJ blank dash switches

    1998 Wrangler hood rod retainer clip installation

    Finally figured it out. My 98 TJ has a round hole on the sloped part. The metal clip has 2 prongs on top that go into the small round hole. 1 large and 1 small prong, I turned the clip around so the open part that retains the hood rod was facing the firewall, then tapped the back end of the...

    1998 Wrangler hood rod retainer clip installation

    No doesn't work, as I said before I tried it and the square hole is not just too big for that plastic clip but the square hole is in line with the large hood spring and the rod, so the rod can't even get close to the square hole even if it fit, which it doesnt. Thanks for the try though .

    1998 Wrangler hood rod retainer clip installation

    I already tried that. 1, the hole is too big for the plastic retainer, and even if it fitted. 2, the square hole is in line with the large hood spring and the rod, so the rod can't get close.
