I'm assuming it is like the coupes. Use a standard flat tip screwdriver to pop off the off-white plastic piece from the lock cylinder. The lock cylinder is held in place with a spring tempered clip. Use that same screwdriver to pry off the clip.

sooooo
your saying the white plastic housing should just POP off the cylinder with a screwdriver ? no pin to push or anything just pop off ?
I tried doing that just not very hard, didnt want to break it
I want to reuse on my 89 convertible.
thank you very much kind Sir.

Just try not to mangle it too badly. It has a couple of internal tabs that fit into a groove on the OD of the lock cylinder. You just have to pry those internal tabs free.
