This is a simple enough job, I've done it myself on several occasions.
Once the switch is removed insert the key back into the barrel. Now to release the barrel from the switch you will need to access the barrel retaing pin/plunger. See attached pic.

Hi Martin, glad you managed to change the key barrel OK. I have no idea what the difference is with the two switches.
