First post here! I’m working on a 1938 LaSalle. The trunk handle rotates 360 degrees, so it does not engage the square “rod” that contracts the latches to open the trunk. Seems that something is broken that would attach the handle to the locking mechanism, preventing it from turning 360 degrees.
I’m looking for any guidance on how to remove the lock cylinder from the handle. Likely I will have to replace the lock cylinder apparatus to repair, but I don’t see how to do that.
Hi, In case you hadn't noticed, this is a GM TRUCK site.

But you might have better luck on the VCCA Forums.
