Good evening

So I had no key for my boot handle and I purchased matching locks for the boot and drivers door for my 69 mini k.

The only problem is the old barrel doesn't want to come out of the handle.
Is there a trick to it, or could it be stuck from corrosion, etc?

Thanks

There is a pin that holds the barrel in. Have you knocked this part out?

if You remove the Chrome bezel from the handle, You should find a small brass pin in the tubular part of the handle Knock that Out and You should be able to remove the barrel
