Hey everybody, first off I just want to say that the wealth of knowledge on this forum is blind blowing. The amount of time and trouble you all have saved me from all the post's I have read is awesome.

onto my question, So a month or so back my 2000 boxster was broken into and the center console compartment lid ripped open, breaking the latch on the lock-mechanism and compartment lid. Since then I have acquired a replacement center console but want to exchange the lock cylinder on the lock-mechanism so my key will lock and unlock the compartment. I have looked all over the place for how the lock-mechanism dissembles and studied blueprint/schematics of the center console but have yet to figure out how to replace the lock cylinder and was hoping one of you all might be able to explain how to release the lock cylinder in detail or guide me to a source online that can explain it.
