Adrian Lawton Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Probably been asked 9 million times before but I'm trying to remove a door lock without success. I have tried all sorts to compress the "tongues" but can't get on one side of the lock (obviously all from behind). The manual just helpfully says "using a suitable tool". Any idea what this tool is or looks like???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Lawton Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Did find this on YouTube Seems the special tool is a hammer and screwdriver as per normal!!! Jump to 2 minute mark (yes I know it's a Midget but the lock's the same) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPK3fQ-IlDM Edited May 11, 2018 by Adrian Lawton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 The tool are pliers, or whatever you have in your toolbox. No special tool required. I used a screwdriver to push back the tongue....a hammer may be a little overkill. All can be done with the side window installed, but I recently removed the window and perfect access is guaranteed.

stuart Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Prise it off with a thin flat blade screwdriver then when you have removed it throw it in the scrap and replace with these Number 59 https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/body-chassis/doors-fittings/doors-fittings-tr5-6.html Stuart.
