HUF type door lock, out of the car.
Is it simple as:
I want to have the lock re-keyed to match an ignition lock, and do it at minimal cost. |

Due to impatience, I’ve already answered half my question - with a fine point tool and tension applied, you can ease the wafers in and rotate the plug.
However, I’m stuck on the retainer plates. Have filed off the peening/staking but they must be a very tight fit regardless. |

The retainer plates… Now removed and lock dismantled.
Shaped like a “squashed letter T” is best how I can describe them. Removal the butcher’s way after filing off the staking is: Drill a 1-1,5 mm hole vertically abutting one retainer short side and prise up the retainer edge with a dental pick. Repeat for the other retainer. Then you can extract the cylinder plug. Take extreme care not to lose any of the eight small wafer springs. Wafers are (I believe, Marty may correct me) in two series: 11-15 and 1-5; these sets vary by being mirrors of each other: |
