  6. Use a screwdriver and pull out an end of the circlip which locks the lock cylinder to the handle. Select the end pointing towards the end of the handle, closest to the cylinder. When the end of the circlip is visible in the opening (drain hole), bend it out so that it can be gripped with pliers. Pull out the circlip, without scratching the handle, and throw away the circlip.
  7. Press out the lock cylinder and retain the two remaining rollers that are now released.
