Replacing the boot handle lock barrel

Post by jaguar68 »

Hi Guys,

Can anyone advise on how to remove the lock barrel on the boot handle?

I'd like to replace the barrel as opposed to buying a complete new handle, although this might not be possible as one of the studs has unscrewed from the main body.

Regards

John

The stud should just screw back in.

It's easy to change the barrel. First remove the metal collar and spring. As I recall there are TWO pins that hold the barrel in place the thing to do is to give it a clean then have a close look. both pins need to be drifted out then it slides out easily.

EDIT

I've just found an old thread on this subject with some pictures I took last time CLICK HERE
