Title: ignition barrel

Hi again folks...
How easy or how hard is it to take out an old barrel and fit a new ignition barrel ?

Thanks for any help.

Remember to put the key in and turn it to pull it out.

Got the barrel out and there was a small screw that was loose.
I just gave it a good tighten and put it all back together and now the ignition works fine.
