There is a tool you can buy at the auto parts store to push the clip off the back the clip is just a bent wire that goes on 90 degrees to the crank post. All I do is push in on door panel next to the crank and remove the clip with a wire pic that bent at a 90 or needle nose pliers. To install...
Yes same key for all of them. I am changing my door lock cylinders for now and plan to use the chain on the steering wheel for now. You can get a new ign cylinder with a different key from any auto parts store or LMC truck. Still waiting for my SF-97 and finishing up glow plug change..
Got lucky on mine looked to have been sitting at least a year maybe 3 since the fuel filter was dated 07. No wait to start operation so we used that bad stuff called starting fluid and a jump from the forklift through the jumper in the grill and it started right up and moved under its own power...

So far my first and only EUC took exactly 45 business days. I know people with a Concealed Pistol License here in Michigan and that made no diff. With a CPL the FBI has all your info from a background check including finger prints on file and that made no diff.
I know its not an M1008 but close. My niece drives an M1009 everyday and she is a senior in HS this year. She calls it the beast, the only requirment was it have a radio so my borther added one so she can listen to her tunes.
