T5 ignition / steering lock removal

[dom]

Hi , a mate of mine has snapped the key off in the barrel , how do you get the old one out to change it ?
I've taken the horn cover off and removed the ignition switch part , but I can't see how the rest comes out , we ve had a go at knocking it out with a big screw driver and hammer and ended up smashing the old lock and half the aluminium casing that it fits in , I'm baffled as there does not look like anything else can hold it

Drop the forks, from the horncover side, pull the steering lock cam out, peer in the hole and you will a small tab, push that up, and push the barrel out.
There is a small hole under the frame tube partm if you are lucky you can push the tab upwards through that, but after the 'attempt' you have made, I reckon it will be forks out.

Look under the welded on tube that the plastic switch screws into and there is a small pin hole. Poke a nail etc in it and it presses a tang in that allows the lock to be removed.No need to remove forks unless you've damaged things.
