Need to have shackle open to get the large brass pins out. Find a small punch to fit to the pin hole and slowly punch it out. After get both large pins out be careful or take the whole bottom part out.....Timothy.....
this one is picked and open and pins removed. the keeper can be seen at an angle thru bottom hole . any way i move the cover the keeper is offset from the hole on both sides. the shackle is 9/16 and cover will not lift to push keeper out . the 840-850-830-870-covers will lift for keeper access-not this 872

Not sure if this works. Try to put the shackle back in the hole with out locking it. Push it in and hoping should see the shackle retainer pin.....Timothy.....
Went you put the shackle back in hole pull the bottom out....Timothy.......
used shim to keep dog from locking ,i buffed another one but found no trace of any other holes or plugs. looks like drill and tap time ?
thank you gentlemen for your help. at least the 877 went well.

Not really sure about this as I remember I has that same problem. I think what I did was went put the shackle back in the shackle hole. I pull the bottom plug house part out as far I could. Should see the shackle retainer and push that out. The other not sure if work if you can see cam and cam screw remove it need to pick the lock open leave open. After pick the lock turn the cylinder than pull the plug house out should see the shackle retainer.
By the way love that Yale Bull Ring you have. Where did you get the Keil Yale key blank..??..Timothy.......
the keil blank i might have got in arizona,been awhile. the yale /ilco blanks #1 and #1n were still available from ilco,there might have been a minimum on the order,been a few months ago. this 872 when closed the keeper is across from top of y and i marked it in the upper circle. with the body all the way up /at any angle / the keeper can be seen at the very edge of the lower pin hole. with the 9/16 shackle the body doesn't give me any play to get the keeper out. boyh sides are the same,i can see the keepers edge ,no way to get it out

I don't see how they put these together in the first place if the keeper for the shackle is
inaccessbile--on the regular 870 padlocks I have when you remove the pins and pull the bottom out you can barely get the shackle retainer to show, then you drive it out from the side. There must be some trick to getting them apart, somehow they assembled them without enough clearance to reach the retainer.
