The hidden tab that releases the center shaft has *ZERO* to do
with removing the cylinder.

Not having done it, that was the hard part about the job that I
failed at
last night.

I removed the stud easily by pressing on the "hidden" tab but
when I
pressed on that hidden tab to push out the lock cylinder,
nothing budged.
Of course, my one hand was pressing on the tab with the
screwdriver, my
other hand was pushing with a pen stuck down the center hole,
and my third
and fourth hands were trying to keep the whole thing from
falling to the
floor for yet another umpteenth time.

I think the inexpensive tool is worth it. I just hope Sears has
it or Home
Deport or Orchard Supply ...
