So I took the door apart to get to the handle wish I would have taken more pics of the tear down but I managed to take apart the lock and got to the tumblers. In the first pick u can see the spring clip if for some reason thats not seated your key will not work even if its the correct one. So after pulling the retaining clip all 6 springs and tapping the tumblers out I started with one, placed it in a spot and checked to see if it worked. After trial and error and about 20 minutes I managed to get 5 of 6 to work well . for some reason the last one just didn't want to work and I wasn't going to re arrange them all 5 of 6 is good enough. My passenger door has a lock so I will be taking it apart next week.
