Swapping Door Lock Cylinders

Apr 23, 2008 0 Replies

The driver's side door handle on my 81 380sl broke, but I managed to find a nice, used one. Can anyone tell me how to swap the cylinder from my door handle -- which I imagine I can remove by turning the key



-- with the one in the replacement, which doesn't have a key.



The only think I can think of is to remove the screw on the end of the replacement's spring loaded shaft. But I don't want to risk opening Pandora's box until I have some idea of what I'm doing.



Thanks very much in advance for any help anyone can give me.
