Tom,
Take a look at the side of the lock housing. On my 67.5 there is a
small pin driven in that I had to drill out. It is less than 1/8" dia.
I think the whole lock then slid out the front. I don't recall that I
had to put the key in any particular position once the pin was drilled
out, but that was about 5 years ago and I've slept since then.
Good luck,
Peace,
Pat
