Jim-
Since you found out how to get your cylinders out I was wondering,
I have new cylinders for my door locks, but I was wondering how to get to
the darn things.
I assume I have to remove the inner door panel, with the window rolled-up to
get to the cylinder.
Can I remove the cylinders from this point, or do I have to remove the whole
door handle from the door?
Is this a difficult job?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
