Low Seat Lock Disassembly

[Shiny]

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the lock core from a low seat latch. I bought one secondhand, so I don't have a key that works for it. I was hoping to insert my key and grind down the wafers like I've read in the rekeying tutorial, but I can't figure out how to open the cylinder. Any help would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated.

In the MOTOBRICK.COM Technical Library index, there is a section on cases and locks. Within that section there is this post followed by a couple of others.

Typing K75 low seat lock into a Google search brings this post.

Largardier makes it sound like the cylinder can't be removed unless the correct key is in it. Truth?

Shiny you need the key to remove the barrel. A good locksmith should be able to do it for a reasonable fee if you can get it there. The other method is to drill it out and replace it with a new one which is messier and probably dearer, and you need to be extremely careful, not to damage the outer housing.
Regards Martin.

Thanks Martin. That was the answer I was afraid of. Oh well,  I'll report back how much a locksmith cost me.
