I did this job on my 550K3 at the weekend. It's fairly easy to drill out and pull the rivet as shown in the link Tom posted, you just need to drill wide and deep enough to release the 5 lock pins.

This is the replacement lock I used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380804531314

MikeM:
ok so to recap

pull out pin with claw hammer

drill the lock ( key entrance ) with 12mm drill bit ( deep wise 20mm?)

I have not got a key so will it just turn with screwdriver after I have drilled the key part ?

   Cut the paint around it first so it won't lift any surrounding paint - I also levered it out with a screwdriver but the hammer may be easier.

   Depth isn't critical, either till all 5 pins drop out or you hit the steel part. 12mm is overkill, I used 9mm, but you only need to go big enough to release the lock pins.

I have not got a key so will it just turn with screwdriver after I have drilled the key part ?
   Yes, the pins that the key operates will fall out and the barrel can then be turned freely.
