Well, I did it. Following the illustrations from cygnus manual I removed the interior door panel. There is only one bolt holding the lock cylinder to the door. But then there is a snap on electrical connection (similar to all those sensors under our hoods), plus the mechanical linkage to the locking mechanism itself. I was able to remove the elec connector fairly easy. The mechanical linkage, well, I just twisted the thing and it came free. I really don't think I'll be able to get it back together correctly. But guess what? The lock cylinder is indeed stamped with the key code. Now I just have to go to a Toyota dealer and have a key cut. Repairing the lock will probably cost me some, but at least I'll be able to drive to the shop, lol.
