Mk2 Golf GTi Rebuild!!!!

[Spazzy]

Hi Im Aaron and me and my friend are currently rebuilding a non running Golf GTi Mk2.
We are at the momment trying to change the igniton barrell to fit with the new complete set of locks we have fitted so it will all work on 1 key. We have a haynes manual which says we have to prise off the washer (with the spring at the bottom) so we can remove the igniton barrell we have tried everything  we have tried pulling... leavering with a screwdriver... using some crank clamp pullers to lock onto it and try to pull the washer off but it just wont budge. we spent a hole day trying to remove this washer and i just wont go anywhere. If anyone knows like a trick or nack to remove them, then please could you tell us. we cant take it nemore we have tried everything we could possibly try we even resorted to a hammer >.<... if you could get back with a answer it would be greatly appreciated 

Aaron

I seem to remember when I did mine I had to drill a certain part with a certain sized drill bit and then release a spring inside it. With the key in the ignition but not turned or with it turned can't rightly remember It was in the Haynes book of lies, fabrications and half truths!
