Taking locks apart - how to?

[jklapp]

I'd like to take the hood and trunk locks apart so I can sandblast them for powder coating (or Cerakote). I've got the handle out of the mounting boss, but cannot figure out how to get the lock barrel out of the handle. Do you need some sort of master key to do this? Anyone do this?

Or, has anyone finished the locks intact? (I'm going the black-out route).

Thanks!

I've powder coated them twice without taking them apart. No problems.
