RE: bloody old bits breaking...



I did this when I first got my roc (RIP), but I seem to rember it being
impossible for the tumblers to fall out of the cylinder. Like they were
pressed in or something. I dunno. Becareful anyway I guess.

Ohhhhhh it's so easy. probably the easiest thing you will ever do on your
roc. take the door handle off. on the back of the lock mechanism you will
see a phillips screw. take it out. now you have to be carefull not to lose
the tumblers in the lock. turn the handle over and gently tap it untill
enough of the lock cylinder comes out so you can grab it. again be carefull
not to lose or mix up the tumblers in the cylinder.
