I searched to no avail... I have read all about the older cars but the W210 lock cylinder must be diffferent than the rest..

I have removed the trim ring, now I have a loose fitting lock cylinder with a black cylindrical cover on it with no visible means of removal. How do I proceed to remove this cover to access the two holes I've read about to get the release tool ( coat hanger) into the lock? (my key is hanging up in the lock).

TIA,
-Tom
