by the picker
first off this can only be done if picked open cw or ccw dose not matter

then i turn so the bottom of the keyway is at top and insert a short hook and locate the 4th pin sack.While applying a ccw twisting motion with the pick i slightly push the control and driver pin up into the bible then i move to the 3rd stack and do the same while putting a little pressure on the face of the core.I am trying to capture one stack above the control sleeve while i move to the other and after repeating this several times and getting both stacks above control the plug will turn back slightly and then the core can be removed

Because i only have one of these locks i cant say it will work for everyone or if mine juts has enough tolerance but i hope this help anyone who cant get control but want to remove the core.

Great! That's thinking outside the box! I have an old medeco lfic (thanks for the correction Riyame) somewhere... when I find it I'll try this out.

Cheers :)

Just a quick note. This is a LFIC, not a SFIC. ;)

Indeed. Nice one. It'll be interesting to see if others are able to do this too.
