Can’t remove boot lock barrel

Post

Hi I’ve been reading up on this but just can’t work it out.
 I’ve removed the main catch to reveal the barrel. But I just can’t get it out.
I read the hard nylon/plastic outer seal should come out - but doesn’t.
Elsewhere I read you push the latch in from the outside to reveal a pin you need to knock out. I can see that but there’s no way to get a drift and hammer in there.
I’m obviously missing something as it shouldn’t be this hard!
Photos or even a video would be awesome. Thanks again

That pin isn't in there tight. make sure that you have the key inserted, and removes out the front IIRC. I am on massive painkillers right now.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Sorry Briano1234 still struggling. Can I just clarify which part is the pin I should be knocking out? 1 or 2?
