Can key lock cylinder be taken out 34 Ford trunk handle without a key. If so what is the trick, as I am not having any luck. Thanks, Jerry

NO it can't.There is a hole at the edge of the handle and a spring loaded pin(on the lock cyl) in it .The key has to be turned 90 degrees to be able to depress it ,then the lock cyl can be removed.You need a key or someone that can pick the lock.32Phil on this site can assist you.

The cylinder can be drilled out destroying the cylinder, without damage to the handle.

32Phil has not been on the HAMB since Nov 3. I tried to contact him a month ago and no response. I hope he is OK.
