I need to remove the pin to remove the locking cylinder. How is the pin installed is press in or screwed in? Any ideas. I have pic sorry that is blurred but still shows the pin. Thanks for all the help.

The pin is pressed in when I removed the pin I grasped it with pliers and it popped out.

to remove the cylinder you have to remove the small pin under the cylinder. If you drill with a #29 drill you can tap the hole for a #8 set screw to hold the new cylinder in place. The old pin is only about 1/8" long
