Hi All, please help. due to some idiot braking off my chrome petrol cap, ive had to get another cap with key from the brakers. what i wanted to know is how to remove the lock barrel from the brakers one and replace with my existing so i don't have to have 2 keys. my existing was so damaged that i couldn't just put a new cap on.
