<VV> Re: '63 door handle removal

[chris czepyha]

Ok I pulled the handles.  Good thing.  The door panel will need to be
replaced, it is quite warped.  Now the what is the correct way to get the
lock cyl off.  Tried pulling on the angle piece, but it would not budge. 
Thinking of grabbing it with a pair of vice grips and pull strait out.
