Steven H. Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 (edited) I'm looking to see if anybody knows if this part can be removed around the cylinder without taking anything apart. As you can, see, the small clip on the left side snapped off and I can't put the lock cover on anymore. I ordered a new part from Ford but it is all metal and comes with a lock cylinder which I don't need. I All I need is to replace is the black cover that houses the cylinder. I tried prying a little but it's pretty stuck on there. Anyone care to assist? 2021 Ford Edge ST-Line Edited April 12 by Steven H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 It is held in place with a torx screw under a rubber plug over a hole in the sill. When the locksmith came out to rekey mine they counted the number of turns obsessively (and careful not to drop it inside the door!), and I am assuming (they went to their secret mobile lair) they took the cylinder apart to see what number plungers it had to code into their machine (I didn't have any cut emergency keys for mine). The one from Ford should have the directions on how to recode it to match, I don't know that it the cylinder is removeable from that piece or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Welcome to the Forum, @Steven H.! As is usually the case, three-dimensionally, there's more to it than meets the eye... Looking to Ford's online parts-selling site, that part is included in a Lock Cylinder Repair Kit... Link to this FordParts web page Door Cylinder Repair Kit photo - from FordParts... As @dabangsta describes, from the 2021 Edge Workshop Manual, Door Lock Cylinder Removal and Installation procedure... Removal NOTE: LH side shown, RH side similar. Remove the grommet. Remove the lock cylinder door handle cover. Hold the front door handle open. Turn the release screw 8 turns. The handle will release around 6 to 6.5 turns. You must continue to the full 8 revolutions for installation. Remove the lock cylinder and the door handle cover assembly from the front door. Remove the door lock cylinder. Installation To install, reverse the removal procedure. The Door Lock Cylinder Removal and Installation procedure is attached below as a PDF document. Good luck!
