....No, I didn't ask.
Per a post in another thread, I stuck a jig saw blade with WD40 in the lock and it pulled the small part out (lower part in photo) leaving the rest of the cylinder inside (upper part in photo). There was a lot of corrosion inside. I scraped out what I could. The key went through the main key hole as I believe it already did but it hit a road block at the cylinder part (upper part in photo) which has corrosion in it at least. Did the small part break off or is it supposed to come out like that? Pulling the small part out exposed two springs.
I did some more digging and scraping and a couple tumblers (?) came out...very corroded. (Photo 2) I can get the key in almost all the way but not quite. I guess there is still no way to get the whole cylinder out without the key going all the way in and of course the tumblers missing.
