Any tips for drivers door lock cylinder removal?
The lock on my 87 260E wouldn't turn last week and I havn't touch it since. I think I can get the key to turn, but I can't afford to mess around and get it to fail completely before I am able to get the lock out.
The FSM says turn the key 60 degrees to the right then push towards rear of the car. Has anybody done this with success? As easy as it sounds or any other tips? I just don't reallyyyy feel like drilling it out if it fails on me midway through so I want to make sure I get it right first time. Thanks

door lock.
I had similar problems.. If you open the door, you will find 3 plastic caps near the door latch. One of those has an allen key that you unscrew, the other for the plug. the third is for door adjustment.
Once you remove the allen bolt, you are supposed to turn the key and then pull the thing out.... (if the key turned, you probably wouldnt have this problem..) otherwise, you have to jiggle, somehow turn the whole thing enough to get it out.. Its not that hard... Just takes time and patience.

But getting it out is easy compared with getting it back in. That's when patience and persistence are required.

Just did it last night. Coming out was super easy no doubt....I didn't have too much trouble once I took a good look inside.
I took the time to claybar + wax the inside jam while the handle was off. Nice and protected in there now
