Subject:Removing & replacing front door key tumbler?
From:Tom Buese

I am planning to replace the front door handle on my 84 westy w/ another
one that I just received in the mail.  Which is easier to do-remove the
existing key tumbler from both old & new handles, & exchange them so my
ignition key works in new handle, or have new tumbler re keyed to match my
ignition key?
I am many miles from a locksmith, so would like to do this at home if
possible, but I don't want to bugger up my handles experimenting to see if
I can remove the tumbler, & Bentley 57 does not address this issue.

TIA,

Mr. BZ-front door now opens but door handle fork got broken off in the
process, thus the need for new handle!
