Changing lock barrels

[jericho]

Just ordered a set of three lock barrels for my 300 tdi 90 hard top (push button doors).

Havent even looked at the locks yet to see how they fit.

Can anyone give me any pointers?

Thanks, Jerry.

When you take the front door card off you'll see the levers.

The lock barrel is keyed, and connected to a lever, which is held on with a small screw. there's also an orange (on the couple i've looked at, its been orange) washer. you can't undo the screw because the door internals are in the way, unless; you have a stubby screwdriver, or you drill a hole in the frame in line with the screw. I've used both methods with sucess.

With the rear door, you need to insert a thin pin into a hole in the lock, whilst using the key to withdraw the old barrel.
