How to remove and insert lock tumblers on Mercedes-Benz W124

Tools required: Small drift pin punch, hammer, flat-blade screwdriver.
NOTE: On some locks, you'll need to remove the white retaining clip and the black plastic alarm microswitch before the tumbler can be removed. When reassembling, insert the tumbler first, then reattach the microswitch and white retaining clip.
