It could be tricky for some people. There's a clip holds the cylinder asembly. Use flat head screw driver and pop that thing out and swap.

If you have silvia lock, yes, you can swap the lock mechanism too. I did it a long time ago, and IIRC I used a small flat head screw driver to take out the internal. You have to bend a lip to take intenal out, swap and bend the lip back to seure. Your original key will work with silvia lock.
