[W126 Coupe] Getting a door mechanism off the car without a key

[mavris2]

If your talking about the whole assembly. Remove the door panel and disconnet the rods from the clip retainers.  The handle assembly should be held in with two nuts if memory serves me. Once it all loose it should just come right out.

Does anyone know how to get the key/handle mechanism off a 380 SEC without a 
key.  To get the handle/key mechanism a car, you need to take out a screw, 
pull the mechanism forward, and turn the key 90 degrees and then pull the 
mechanism out.  I could cut the rod that rotates when you turn the key, but 
that would ruin the part for someone else.  If someone wants or needs this, 
I could get the key for the junkyard dealer.

Right now, I will have to go back to the junk yard and use his key.  That is 
an hour  away so I hope someone knows what to do on this.
