  • I stripped it down last night and I cant see any way of removing the barrel.
  • I have repainted the second hand unit I bought and it is now looking presentable. Think I will fit Wednesday evening.
  • hmm, so its as I guessed a cast item. The barrel must have been inserted from inservert from one end of the other and held in place my a circlip of some sort.
  • Sounds like the easiest option, got pics..?

I posted pics in my earlier post. There is nothing else to take pics of.

When I undo the top bolt on the top plate to remove the old lock, will the bearing come off with the plate? If it does how do I get the bearing out of the original plate and into the replacement plate?

No, mate, the bearings remain in place.  It's a very simple swap as you'll see when you remove the top nut. :)
