Chevygoat, I made a long answer to your request but lost it when I reviewed the message, in a nutshell, if you own a lock that has not been wet...then you would have a chance to selvage it. what i have found is the other owners destroyed the locks using the key. the pot metal part won't come out of the brass bushing. there are two steel expandable rings that hold the assembly together the lock cannot be pushed out of the brass bushing. I tried with 3 different locks. I even cut one of the bushings apart...the inside was destroyed. actually, the bushing and lock will slide out easily once the corrosion is removed from the casting, but you can't remove the lock from the bushing. Sorry!!! I plan on making a slug with a key slot to operate the wheel lock.
