Because spare tire was in the way, we drilled out the cylinder to open trunk of our newly purchased 66 hardtop. I already purchased replacement key and cylinder, but no instructions and I cannot see how the cylinder is removed from the assembly. Any ideas are appreciated.

A shop manual may offer some help. You might also look at one of the Specialty Thunderbird catalogs with their exploded diagram.

Most lock assemblies I've (albeit mostly doors), there is usually a 'U' shaped keeper bent flat with a spring to it and a tab on the end to pull it off and the lock assembly falls.
