How do you remove the cores on these? I used to have a padlock similar to that and I couldn't figure it out.

I don't know....LOL....
Thats how i got it.
I think its because of the shipping process or something...because the core wasnt out when the seller sold it to me.

Open the lock and remove the screw in the shackle hole. rap the lock on the same side of the shackle the screw is on to dislodge a retainer pin and the cylinder will come out. To replace it, put the core back in and push the retainer pin in with a thin-bladed screwdriver. Replace the set screw.
This is also the method used to retain the tubular cores.

Hello!
I just unlocked another chicago padlock to make sure, I dont see any screw or anything removable....
I dont have my camera right now, can you take a pic and point out how to remove these cores? I have other vintage padlocks, it would be nice to see what they look like inside
