Repinning a lock

[Stray]

What does the back of it look like (usually you have some sort of clip to pop off first on them.)

Hi. The lock looks like this picture.

I have the knob popped off,but I can not get the plug out. I got it to rotate freely,but it will not pull out.

I wonder if ripping a stuck spring out of a cylinder can cause any damage to the plug or the shell that would be uncharacteristic of natural wear, and affect how it feels when being picked.

Are you at stage 3 in this link? (i know it isn't the same knob)

When ever doing anything like this always check for any marring, use a small file to correct flaws and test the cylinder several times. It should be ok the spring usually does very little damage.

Hi. That link Stray provided me actually solved my problem. I didn't realize that you had to pop a ring off of the knob to get the cylander out. Thanks for your help.
