That is one tough lock. Pin-by-pin picking was only successful about six times. When I feel like a challenge, this is the one I choose.

That lock is re-keyable. Once you open it, take a look at the pins they put in there.

I still don't know how to remove the cylinder.

When the lock is open, look down into the hole where the shackle normally is.. There will be a screw with an allen-wrench socket (I think...) Unscrew this, and the cover on the front will pop off, and you can slide the core out.

What do you suggest me to do, rake or pin-by-pin.

What works best for me is raking it a bit, and then finishing it off pin by pin. Of course, that's what I usually do.

Just as quicklocks said, these are easy locks. If you can't pick security pins, you'll crap your pants if you ever try some of the high-security stuff.

Well,
Not to long ago, I had 3 ABUS 85/40s, which have 5 spools, and I picked em all 3.

for any lock I always pick pin by pin and if that does not work (usually does) I use my bogota style rakes or a snap gun.

I found these to be pretty easy as well. I don't consider myself an exceptionally skilled picker, but the first time I tried one of those it took me about 3 minutes. Other than security pins, the only thing that presents a challenge is the small-ish keyway. I was fortunate that my work bought a couple of those to lock up a trailer, 'cause I would have been pretty disappointed if I'd have paid retail for one of those just to pick it in 3 minutes.

As they get older and a little worn down from usage most can be opened super easy- 30 seconds easy  They still are fun to practice with. anyone looking to buy one of theese should just go for the Master lock tagout locks.
At the local locksmiths here theese tagout locks cost only 12 dollars compared to the 30 to 40 for a pro series and they have the same cylinder(s). http://safety.masterlock.com/apps/catalog/product.jsp?subId=D6835&target=safety
Don't you just love 'high security"?

The plastic body tagout locks have a different keyway, far curvier, and it can be a fair pain if you got a high low high configuration. However, that being said, tension tool on the top of the keyway usually improves the situation
