Locking mechanism

[jod]

Hi,
Removed the complete lock assembly from the drivers side,which is now sat on the bench.I need to seperate the barrel from the housing.
Has anyone done this succesfully?
Thanks

Never looked at one, but used to be a production engineer at Valeo (security systems) and whatever you do to withdraw the barrel you need to have the key installed to line up the tumblers in the lock so you can withdraw it from the housing. I'd look for either a c-clip or roll pin fitted to the bottom of the barrel for a start.....sorry, I can't help more!
