How To.....remove lock cylinder in center console???

[SBTork]

I am in the process of putting stock bucket seats and a stock center console in my '85 Suburban and hit a small road block. I have an old donor center console for parts that is gray, I also have a brand new GM center console the blue, my interior color. I am switching parts from the old gray one to the new blue one and need to switch lock cylinders. The new one has nothing and the old one has a keyed one for which I do not have the key. Can I remove it without the key? My assumption is yes because the glove box lock cylinder/latches that are not keyed have to come apart somehow and I am thinking this should be similar. I tried taking a pick to it with a flashlight but maybe I am just not hitting the right spot, who knows. Is there something I am missing? I tried looking in the GM service manual I have for 1985 Light Duty Trucks and I cannot find where this process is in the manual. Any experienced GM techs or shadetrees out there that have done this before??

i used the search feature, but my dumb dumb a$$ didn't look on the next 2,3 and 4th pages, i guess that's why i dont do well on the cell phones, well i got it, if anyone encounters this page because there's others with pictures and actually tell you, this one needs to be deleted.... i found the CORRECT key, locked it without having it latched, turned key, pulled and jiggled. easssy

It is supposed to work the same way as removing the glove box lock. I just ain't found a way to get something to poke in to release the cylinder
