Well, I got the ignition cylinder off by using a screw reverser bit- came off very easily. I've unscrewed the hex nuts on the inside of the door handle and have disconnected all linkages. Can't seem to get the lock cylinder to release from the inside of the door handle. Same for the trunk lock. Anyone done this before?

The boneyard comes to pick up this parts car carcass at 10:00 AM today, and I would love to pull these off before they take the car.

Thanks for the help!

Heath,Thanks, that explains it. I should have asked sooner. Did not see this until after the carcass was already picked up. The auto recycler guy helped me pull them out- I should be able to salvage the lock cylinder, but the elctro-magnetic mechanism got trashed. At least I know now how to install them into my Q if I need to change the locks over.
