Removing Lock From BMW Top Box

[BMWLou]

Made out the other day and found a BMW Top Box, like new condition, and even the BMW metallic black of my 90th Anniversary RT. My question, how do I remove the lock cylinder so I can rekey it to match the RT's ignition key. I do have the original Top Box key.

I've re-keyed several cases after carefully following the procedure set forth here:

Worked like a charm Sailorlite. Must admit did tale a bit of probing to find the sweet spot.

That sweet spot is elusive at best... Spend 4 days trying... tok me 5 seconds to remove the cylinder...

Looks like the old web site that had info on removing the lock cylinder easily is gone. I've put up a youtube video covering the lost info so its still available.

This works for removing a lock set without a key:
