exterior lock cylinder question
Hello,
I recently got a 1993 rx7 and the exterior lock cylinders are very stiff and I've recently almost sheared a key due to how difficult it is to open the lock. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to clean and lubricate the internals? For context the car has been sitting for at least 5 years and the plastic covers over the locks are missing, so I assume there might be dirt and stuff in the cylinders themselves. Thanks in advance for the help.

I tried to spray a dry lubricant into the cylinders. The plastic shutters on the locks are broken/missing so I was able to spray into the cylinder. It felt a bit better but it looks like i will have to pull the cylinders out and inspect further.
