black99S Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I've read the explicit instructions and succesfully done the re_keying job on a used case I bought. I was able to re-use 5 of the 6 lock 'tumblers' so left one empty. Trying to help a guy do his identical case and no way can I get the lock out. I can feel the probe in the lock as I turn it but... Is it possible the last guy put the lock cylinder in 180deg out and I'm probing the back side ? If this is possible then it's down to disassembly I guess. Any other suggestions? Link to comment
John in VA Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I just removed the lock cylinder of a 28L top case yesterday prior to returning it to the dealer (it arrived with a crack in the exterior corner). I used a paper-clip-taped-to-screwdriver probe. Feeling around for 10 minutes, I thought I'd never find the release hole, and when I did, nothing happened when I pressed into it several times. Turning the key, I could feel the probe. Suddenly, the cylinder released and I carefully pulled it out by the key, holding the bits and pieces together. I guess it's all about patience.
