I just pulled the trunk lock assembly I took apart.
I was wrong the rivets have to be drilled out to replace the tumbler.
There is a spring in there so you need to be careful when you drill the
rivets; use a clamp to hold the chrome piece to the assembly.
The threaded rod threads into the base of the tumbler through a keyed spacer
which slides through the key way on the sheet metal assembly under the
chrome outer part.
Hope that helps now.
