how do I change the door lock cylinder?

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

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