Yes, it can be taken apart. Try a good strong magnet to remove the broken part of a key  ;)

If you have the lock off, squirt a load of WD40 in the lock and bang on the edge of a wooden block . Too many ways to remove a key, including a dab of super glue on the key and attach a dowel of wood  ;)

If it's the lock that goes between the clocks that comes apart fairly easily, the one under the tank isn't so easy. Seat locks are easy to get apart.
