Peter Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Got a 1985 CSW - Need to know how to change the door lock barrels. Basically these are totally different to the later type. Does anyone have an early LR repair manual that actually states how to dismantle them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Now I am going from memory here, since it's been a long time since I took mine apart. The main door latch assembly is rivetted together, but the lock barrel can be swapped over. I have a feeling there's a screw that is threaded into the end of the barrel from behind the door trim, see picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS888 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 There's a screw on the back of the lock, it can be removed without taking the latch mechanism out of the door. It has a locking tab washer on it so you have to press the tabs down with a srewdriver, then I believe the screw is an 8mm hex head. And be aware -- there are two ball bearings that ride in grooves on top of the lock cylinder, and if you lose them the lock doesn't work!
