   not difficult, but you will either have to 1) buy a new cap or 2) 
have a cap that you can destroy. there's a clip at the bottom of the cap 
that holds the cylinder in place. overcoming that clip is damn near 
impossible. best bet is to get a new cap. it'll have to be keyed to your 
key. failing that, you can drill the old cap lock out and scavenge a 
parts cap for the cylinder. the tumblers are the same as the doors.
