How do you remove the metal casing that you have already removed

Thank you very much, I needed the lock barrel removal instructions, and you explained it perfectly, with all the tips and tricks, I was wondering is it similar to my old car, Kadett D, it is, just a BIT more complicated and modern :-D Thanks again, great video !

Nigel the release of the steering lock happens at 1:00 min into the video

Thanks alott for helping how to put it back

Pretty good but I really wanted to know how and at what stage to remove the metal casing from around the transponder and connector. The Haynes manual implies that you can remove the transponder without removing the barrel but I can't see how.

Very tricky indeed to put it back in! I pushed the plug but my plug returns to the initial position, so I can't stick the bastard back. Maybe I need a whole new set???

Thank you! Simples.

very helpful video, i have the berral out , but the steering lock has now come on, do i need to take in off before replacing, if so how? thanks

Firstly awesome video, very helpful...unfortunately I have broken the tag and cannot get the barrel out, any advice would be appreciated
