how do I change the door lock cylinder? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to change the door locks on my truck. Anyone know the best way to do this? Planning on taking the panels off and figuring it out, but if anyone has done it I'd appreciate a heads up.

After removing the door panel, you should be able to see the retaining clip for the lock cylinder. Once that is removed, you should be able to wiggle the lock cylinder out of it's hole. Installation is reverse of removal

take the door panel off, and look at how its attached, its a no-brainer from there

It was very easy! Took about 30 minutes for both doors.
