Also, if the key is stuck/snapped in the barrel use a spare key in the opposite side and tap it...the broken key will stick out about 4mm so you can remove it with pliers.
Midnight cowboy. Have same problem. I have been told to drill and it will come off but I have difficulty removing mine, as the black bit in the middle is still angled. Have not tried other methods. Yours seems quicker. Other wise I will have to go bigger bit. Please send details to. dennisspat@yahoo.co.uk Thanks

Will you be willing to undertake teh task - as you are advertising your services? Maybe a fixed fee of say $200 including travel?
