I am trying to remove the exterior door handle and bezel. The lock cylinder seems to be keeping me from removing the bezel around the handle. Is there a trick to removing the lock cylinder? I cannot find a clip like I have seen on other cars. Thanks

I figured it out. The bezel was just stuck. I didn't need to remove the lock cylinder after all.

How did you do this? I'm in the same situation as you, except I'm trying to change the lock cylinder. What holds that bezel in, and is the cylinder accessible once it is removed? I've removed the two bolts that appear to hold the handle assembly to the door, but nothing will budge. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I figured it out as well. Only two bolts hold this thing in from the back side. I ended up knocking it out with a punch.
