Can someone please help these guys. Its a great tech thread, but to be honest, its a useless tech thread when the pics arnt working...

pic of where screwdriver goes threw

Spot on.

Note - even after you knock the screwdriver though, it can be a **** to get the barrel out. A little bit of farking around and itll come out.

thanx for the pic, but i already managed to find that hole somehow. it like magically opened up without me driving a screw driver into it lol.

i got my old one out in 5mins but this new barrel wont go all the way in i think its the pointy chrome bit that wont lift up and into the cog because the old one is rounded any ideas ? EDIT: all good just needed to put a smidge of grease over the lil hairpin spring on the side to let it slide in a bit further thanks for the writeup Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Updated with pics again.

Great thread. question tho, how do you get the metal shroud off ?

There is a circlip.

thanks heaps Matt.. with a some help from good old Sabo_vlct it was a 10 minute job!

Thats ok, glad to help. its easy once you know how.

Hi, does anyone no how to take the metal jacket off of the ignition barrell? because it is stopping me from removing it....by the way the metal jacket is an anti theft device. thanks kane

This guide helped me heaps, thanks for the pics aswell. The Ellery manual is very vague when it comes to removing the barrel. Now the task of putting it back in. Got annoyed and walked away last night when it didnt go back in right
