Here's the story. When i bought my car i only got 1 key with it and it's pritty worn out, somtimes it gets stuck and wont let me unlock doors or start the car. I order a new ifiny key and was going to have it cut. Since the key is so worn i don't want a direct copy because it will have the same problem. I took it to a lock smith to see if he could rebuild the key, he said that he needs the key code off the passanger side lock. Well i don't know how to take that out nore have i tried yet, since i'm still at work. Anybody who has done this could you please help out with some tips or info on how to go about it. Thanks

 

The wonderful door locks on the FD...

You'll have to first pull the plastic piece off on the interior portion of the car opposite your outer door handle. Unscrew two screws (if I recall), then pull the handle mechanism out. There should be a metal ring holding the cylinder in place, of which you pull off and pull the cylinder out with some other minor tinkering.

Honestly, once you get the handle off, its really easy to get the cylinder.

 

Thanks for the info. I haven't looked at it yet but i like haveing some idea of what i'm getting myself into before i go pulling things apart.

 

Yep, just the two nuts to be removed (behind the pastic piece on the inside of the door handle).

If you want to remove the whole handle/lock assembly from the car to make it easier to get the cylinder out:

Remove the door trim and disconnect the lock cylinders electrical connector. After removing the two nuts holding the handle assembly from inside the car, pull the handle mechanism out. Reach in with your fingers and unclip the two rods (that drive the lock mechanism further down in the door.) You can then completely remove the handle mechanism.
