Fred, coupla months ago, I removed ig. lock in my 87 300D (124) by inserting U-shaped unlock tool in the 2 holes withe key in posit #1 - that's not the OFF posit. - that's #1 clockwise from OFF; jiggled key while pulling on it and lock cylinder with its protective steel cover came right out. 'Made tool from white-painted clothes hanger; scraped paint off to make perfect dia. size. Did you file slopes/wedges on ends of your tool to ride up on the lock release? I did not need to remove any molding nor the rubber/plastic around the lock - old one slipped right out and new one slipped right in with jiggle on key to align it properly.
