Meanwhile, 11 years later.... I had a tough time getting my lock apart because many say to turn the key clockwise. Other forums say that, Jim Carter has an article that says clockwise. I had success doing it the way ggfossen writes, " it has to be turned counter-clockwise. It goes about 1/8 of a turn beyond open while, at the same time, pulling back on the bottom of the latching bar that sits on the rear of the assembly. Then everything just comes apart."
