I need some help repairing this Huff split beetle lock. This picture is not my lock but I have one just like it. Does anyone know how the cylinder comes out? I found the small set screw that was filled in and removed it, but the cylinder will not budge. My other one it popped right out but the top of the lock cylinder was flush and didn't come down over the sides? The cap is aluminum? thread on? push on??

Also I think these had F profile Huff keys? Is that right? I need a blank? Tim

I just figured out my other steering lock must be missing the aluminum cap around the lock cylinder. That is why my other cylinder popped right out. The big question is?? How does that thin aluminum cup come off that says start and garage on it? I tried pulling and twisting and it will not move.
