It turns out that this lock can be manipulated, but the catch is, this technique only works if the lock is not attached to somethig. Basically, you need to check the shackle pull at 0 - in theory simple but you need digital depth gauge and a rig to hold the lock in place. Basically, when you get the third gate lined up, the shackle deflection at 0 goes up by a few thousandths of an inch, so you basically start at 0 and turn right to a number, then turn back to zero and check the shackle deflection.
Just look up the video on YouTube, it explains it better than I can.

I'm not sure if this is the specific video he was watching, but I'm guessing it's the same technique. I have a couple of 8077's in my collection, I ran across this a year or so ago when I was doing some research on them and bookmarked it.
