Your right Pete it is retained by a circular clip which slips into a "channel" on the barrel...
the clip can be removed by prying it open as it than expands and can than be released from the barrel...

I can try 'n find mine and take a picture for you if you'd like some more info..

Not 100% sure, but think the lock barrel is held in by an expanding circular clip which fits around the rear of the barrel. It has to be compressed to pull the barrel out.

I've got the drivers door stripped down ready for paint but have not yet been able to get the lock barrel out.

There is limited access and visibility due to the lock mechanism, but I'm expecting to see a retaining nut of some sort.

Has anyone done this and able to offer advice?
