Galliano Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I've had a look at the lock barrell before now to change on mine. I couldn't see any way of changing it myself, it can be done, surely, but I just wouldn't know where to begin.The lock needs to be upright position and not horizontal. If it is vertical then all is merry, you can just use the boot release lever.To remove the old one, there is a metal rod that clips into the back of the bootlock (Inside the bootlid). Unclip that, then remove the two 10mm bolts and away you go. Put the new one in, bolt it up and clip the rod into the new braket piece. Make sure you have the rear seats folded down so you can access the back should it go pearshaped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jochempie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Great result with that carbon fiber! I tried to remove my boot lock as well, to make it easier for myself to machine polish the paintwork on the back of the boot. I tried to remove the screw on the back but it's so tightly fastened that I failed to get it out. I'll try again later today, but use your method =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silentstu Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 What screw did you try to remove ?All you need to do is remove the retaining clip and the 2 10mm bolts and the whole thing comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
