I am wondering if the bit that is broken is physically part of the internal barrel in which case I assume I will not be able to replace the barrel and still use my key.
I see what you mean all right, it could very well be the case but there is only one way to make sure.
Punch out Pin 1 with a blunt nail that is thinner than the pin.
Put the key into the lock
The barrel should now come out of the housing…with or without the “arrow” bit.
It should all go back together again PROVIDED YOU DON’T REMOVE the key while it is all dismantled.
There seems to be a Pin 2 and 3 as well but I don’t think that the will be involved in the operation.
There may be a lot of differing variation of that lock, it would be wise to take a photo of yours, for reference, to make sure the replacement is the same.
