The one picture you said black dot for set screw that goes into the cylinder. Have you try to take that set screw out. That could be what holding the cylinder in. If the screw does come out went it unlock to pull he cylinder out be careful that it may have spring load inside pop out.....Timothy.....

I know I can impression a key for this. I choose not to go that route. My question is/was has anyone pulled the plug on one, generate a key, and then put everything back. My concern is getting the top pins and springs back in.

There are some lock just about the one you have. I use what they call Shim if you can get it inside of the cylinder than pull out and be sure hold on to the shim. If not have to take it out slow one by one so the spring will not pop out. To put back in use the shim on top of the hole where the spring are and slowing push the cylinder back in. Hoping this would help out and maybe someone else may help. Not sure as I know you have information from another forum which not a member of them. Maybe they can explain better of what I said. I do know Jeffmoss26 member other forum maybe can help out more......Timothy....

Maybe this may work but I don't have the lock to do this. If you already got the set screw out. See if you can turn the cylinder to per picture and maybe you will see the hole with spring. Just do it very slow until you can see all four spring and be ready to put your finger over these hole to keep the spring from popping out. This may be the way they put the pins and spring in there but like I said not sure....Timothy....

I could have impressioned a key but I chose to disassemble the unit. It was filthy.
