Opening a Yale Padlock

[devnill]

I just got a Yale B50 badlock from ebay, and having alot of trouble opening it. Im pretty sure it has a spool pin, but i cant tell much more. I notced the bottom has a small hole diretly under the shackel, and am wondering if it is made to remove the core. Is there a non-destructive of opening this lock?

here is a photo of the lock for reference:

Nope... small hole is not for removing the core. It's been discussed here a few times, but I don't recall paying close attention to what was settled on. Seems to me it was for drainage.

Anyway... hope that helps at least a little.
