1: unlock padlock.

2: remove retaing screw from under the shackle.

3: with the face of the lock faceing you tap the left side with a rubber mallet or simmalar to move the retaing pin out of the plug.

4: remove the plug from the lock this one has 10 wafers.

5: remove the cam from under the plug.

6: remove the 2 stainless steel ball bearings.

7: remove the shackle it should just pull out.

8: pull out the spring from under the shackle.

9: now you have completly gutted your lock.

10: this is the guts out of my one
