Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2010 9:07 pmi remember a while back you said you need a control key to take the core out, but i have one of these and what you need to do is get a punch or a drift that will fit in the hole the shackle goes in (the one exposed when you unlock it) and tap on it with a hammer and the core will slide out. dont feel like you are going to break it beacuse you will not. make sure the drift does not hit the locking bar that holds the shackle closed/

cool, aarpaz, thanks.
i have always wondered about that... so, what actually retains the core?
is it just pressed in?
seems to me if it just taps out what would stop a slide hammer/nose puller just yanking the core out?
