Did you remove the entire assembly from the car?ok, i took off the inside cover and locking clip also drilled out the top rivet . still no access to the bottom rivet, i can see it from the inside.
I removed the latch and locking clip but the lock cylinder won't come out till I can get the slide cover off.Did you remove the entire assembly from the car?
I did try that but it won't come out far enough to get past the stopHave you tried pulling out on the escutcheon a bit and rotating it in the opposite direction?
