Door Locks

This is kind of a continuation of my door panels thread down below, because now that I have the door panels out I can get at the door lock cylinders. How are the door lock cylinders supposed to come out? I can't really see well enough back in there to figure out how they come out, and it seems like I can't get my hand in to have a feel around, much less get any tools in that small space. Any suggestions?

Re: Door Locks

mine had a clip with a little lip holding them if you reach in and pull the clip the lock comes free and as your pulling it out you can get it off the rod.

I agree, simply held in place with a clip on the inside.

Re: Door Locks

well they are right it is a c clip with a kind of like lip on it so you can either reach up there and pull it out if its not too tight or rusted in or you can wedge a long flathead screwdriver in there and sorta pry it out
