Webley Omega Barrel Latch

A quick question for everyone; how do you remove the barrel latch on an Omega? I need to take it off to get the rifle reblued, but I am not sure how to remove it.

If memory serves there's a horizontal pin below the latch plunger. Drift it out with plunger restrained to avoid searching the lawn for it

Thanks for that, although I've had a look and can't find anything there. looks like it's held in place with the cocking arm rivet.
