Ok I just got exterior door handle assembly from Bavarian Auto Recycling and I'm eager to install it. Problem is that my car now will have 3 different locks and I only have keys to two of them. Anybody knows how to replace locking mechanism from door handle assembly? If I swap lock from old assembly on passanger side to driver's side I will be able to get into car and start it with just one key (!) and if I swap driver's side and new assembly lock I will be able to unlock doors from pasanger side and unlock trunk (not that you do it often but still) with another key.

So questions are:

1) How to remove lock from door handle assembly (I have 2 keys and 3 locks)
2) Any manuals for door handle replacment, I could probably do it without it but some guide will surely help.

Thanks for any help,
