Gacha locks

Post by cliffxtc »

The toy compartment lock on a Tomy Gacha has just been drilled out to open it after a customer jammed something in it.
I can't get it off despite removing the large circular nut from the back. Any help?

Nothing else hold it in so I guess its just WD40 and elbow grease/big hammer/crowbar. Perhaps when you have drilled it its got hot and bonded the plastic of the machine had bonded onto it?
