Thanks. I used the old cylinder "inside" that i have the key for. You need to take off the "c" clip that holds the arm into the cylinder. Then remove the chrome/shinny cover that goes around on the outside. Normally only two sides are pressed in so with a small flat head pry one of them out and it should pop off then you can slide the cylinder our and slide the one you have a key for in( I add some assembly lube/grease to make it smoother and be able to spin easily). Then pop the cove back on, use some pliers/vice grips to press the cover back into place, and put the arm and the c clip back.
Pretty easy once you do one. Just keep track of the small clip and other things you remove.
