The age old method prevailed, Hammer. On a serious node, It is fitted with couple of "tap things" on the bottom. I just put a big socked on the bottom and a small socket on the tom, lightly hit with hammer and it came out of the chrome piece. Once out of the chrome case, it is pretty straight forward. I took all the pieces (tumbler) out and file them, #2, #3, and # 5 was bent and causing the issue.
I did have few challanges putting it back in the car but that is a different story. The lock is back in the car and working like a champ. I have taken pictures for the whole operation, just in case if some one on the board need help.
Here is pic how it came out and the tumbler with pieces.
