What's the best (if any) of removing a barrel from a rear door latch if you don't have the key?

Mines fluffed so picked one up next to nothing but my key doesn't work in the new one.

Drill it?

TIA

You mean rear doors are meant to lock

Take the handle and lock off the door. There is a small hole on the barrel casing push a jewellers screw driver in and withdraw the barrel, it may be stiff !
push your new one in, then refit lock.

I've got it off, I need to turn the key to expose a brass pin though don't I?

The cylinder pin should be accessible with the key in straight.
As soon as the pin is depressed, the cylinder should easily pull out.

OK, so now a daft question ... what type of handle is it?
Pics might help.

That looks like it's for a left-hooker passenger door, which is locked by the little slidey thing, and doesn't have an external key lock fitted!
The lock cam, which prevents the handle from lifting, should be held onto the cylinder by a screw.
Remove the screw and cam, and the pin should be visible on the turned down part as per this pic http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rove...oor-Lock-Barrel-amp-Keys-395141-/271885823602

I found on mine that you had to turn the lock barrell with the key for the brass pin to line up.

It *should* be aligned when the key is vertical, but mine wasn't!

That's what this one is like could I drill the lock out and put my own in?

You'd still have to remove the remains of the cylinder.
I'd start with a 4mm drill and them increase the size by a couple of mil at a time, and if you can, use a stand drill as it will want to 'run off' centre.
