G'day Bill, Don etc
The barrel of the boot lock is different to the doors and the ignition. However the same key should fit.
You can remove the barrel from the boot lock - but only if you have the key!!!!!!!!! Otherwise the tumblers jam behind the chrome dress piece that the key fits into. When you inset the key, the tumblers withdraw into the barrel and the barrel can be removed. After you have removed the lock pin. Which you get to after you have filed off the crimps and removed the cover for the retaining spring.
Assuming you have the key, dismantling, cleaning, lubricating and re-assembling the lock is quite straightforward. It will only take 40 minutes or so, and about 50% of the time the lock will work sort of OK afterwards. Unless the small mazak tit has broken off the back of the barrel, in which case fixing it is nigh on impossible. So allow 80 minutes to dismantle two and make one fair one, but still with wear and scratches in the handle and bezel.
How much was that new one again?
