Faulty Ignition Switch

Ill drop him a PM but I've taken mine apart and there is nothing obvious that needs to be removed to free the barrel. Maybe there is a circlip somewhere. I'll look again.

Hmm got some pics..? Im wondering if the barrel is cast as part of the cap..? if so then while a bit extreme you could swap all the small barrel keys from one to the other. You'd have to do them one at a time noting the position/slot - but thats even assuming you can even get to them.

I'll take another look this evening.

How goes it..?

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.

Thanks Mike, that makes it a lot easier!
