I did have to drill a rivit at the top of each latch to seperate the sides,
and I had to use a hammer and small nail to pop the barrel out, but I didnt
have to drill the barrel itself. The new one did pop in pretty easily. Some
lithium grease and a bolt to replace the drilled rivet and all is well. It
was hard to assemble correctly, and the sides must be TIGHT together or else
it wont work properly. There was a diagram in the Rovers North catalog that
I used for assembling the sides/barrel/springs. RN is also where I got my
parts.
