    Presumably similar to the 840, I believe you will need to punch out the retainer pins to disassemble, see exploded view pdf attached. From Padlock Handbook, (c)1970, Locksmith Ledger.

    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
