  How do you get the trunk lock cylinder out of the handle? I need to change the trunk lock cylinder. Handle has been removed from car. As always, thanks for your advice.

  Turn the cylinder to the unlocked position and then insert a thin probe in the space at the top of the cylinder to depress the pin that keeps the cylinder in place, then pull the cylinder out with the key.

I have tried this procedure and if I had to do it again, I would take the handle to a old locksmith and have him do it.
