How to change the ignition-barrel?

[AudiRS]

I need to change the ignition-barrel on my 20v.
I`ve taken out the stearinglock-mechanism but I don`t know how to get the old barrel out.
Any help please?

You have to cut a slot into the aluminium casing so that you can push a pin to release the barrel. I have some pictures somewhere where I have done one, I will try to find them for you.
