Re: Tailgate lock barrel


That ring rings a bell in my grey mind, Jim.  I've got a feeling about a
pin that needs driving out, and I suspect that the barrel is pinned to the
latch or something.  I know I chickened out of driving a pin out of the
assembly.

It's an internal snap ring that is quite hard to get out, but not
impossible. It is not an ordinary snap ring that has any normal way
of getting it out. If necessary, one could drill a small hole from
the outside of the barrel and push something in this hole to push the
snap ring inwards and release it.
