This is actually a different lot from that.
But I have the same problem with those ones too.Re: Help removing this Medeco tailpiece clip?
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 12:25 amThis is the same design ad Yale rim cylinders from many years ago. They are especially fun when the last guy to work on it turns the plug 180degrees and then installs the clip. You need to remove it the same way, so you pick it if you don't have a key. A real thrill if you have a bunch to do.

Not fun!
