Removing tailgate lock barrel.

[Jocko]

I have just bought a beautiful 2006 Jazz, my first 4 wheel Honda, but have noticed what appears to be serious corrosion beside the tailgate lock barrel. There is a protective decal round the lock, which does a very good job of disguising it. To make a repair I will have to remove the barrel. My question is how do I remove it? I realise that there is only wiring attached to the rear but don't know how to release the barrel from the bodywork. Thanks.

Thanks. That is a brilliant resource.

Here's a picture of one.  It's funny how some models/regions have the lock and others don't, not sure what the rationale is.

On my car the metal lock is surrounded by a 4mm rubber grommet, just checked and it operates the central locking all round. The scrapyard one pictured has a lever arm, but that is not connected to anything on the Jazz - it's just an electrical switch. 

Don't think I've ever inserted the key before in the last 14 years.
