key cylinder replacement

After replacing the door locks, I have been attemping, without success, to remove the key cylinder. I insert the current key in the cylinder, turn the key to the left, insert a pin in the pinhole and although I feel a sping in the pinhole, the cylinder won't come out. Am I missing something. Thanks.

I use a paper clip straightend out, turn to the left is correct, try pushing in and turning some more after the clip is in. the tumbler should come right out. good luck.

you need to push the paper clip in first....then turn the key to the left.

It's kind of like a retainer, turning the key first puts too much pressure on the internal works
