Depends on the type of car. Every new lock I have purchased has instruction with it for that particular model. Some are held in with a screw or pin. Some have a spring loaded stud that you depress with a paperclip or similar straight pin and it pulls out, it just depends on what you are working on.

You turn a mortise cylinder lock slightly before removing to release it from the lock housing. There is an obstruction in the lock design to keep the cylinder more secure in the lock.
