seized boot lock

[bigasotonuk]

Hi,
Hope this is the right section to post this.
On my c43 the boot lock is seized solid to the extend the key will only go in 10-15 mm, after soaking it in plus gas , release oil etc. i have come to the conclusion that it has something jammed in there which i have no hope in removing.
I have removed the boot catch assembly and it does,nt look like you can replace just the lock barrel and have to replace the whole assembly.
Does anyone know if this is correct?
