Larry, Can you see the two small holes where you insert the 2mm pins? They are at the edge of the silver metal portion of the face of the lock. If you can see the holes, you're ready to remove the cylinder lock, assuming you've got the trim piece off and the key turned to position one. My FSM says that the "Escrutheon" that you remove with the small screwdriver is only on the 201 models. The outer cap of the lock cylinder assembly, rubber coated, comes off with the cylinder...

Sw. with Key from Rusty and after reading the WSM I thought I knew how to replace it! Bzzzzt, Wrong. I was able to remove the surrounding trim but rubber boot was a challenge. There’s no way it’s coming off. The WSM says to remove the trim with a small screw driver but it’s more than that. It’s more of a rubber boot that extends from the keyhole to the tumbler housing. The WSM makes it look like the boot is just around the key hole. Maybe the manual is for a earlier/later model? Anyway, I put the surround back in place and I’m pretty sure the tumbler assy. will last for a while. Any ideas?
