Default how to remove drivers side door handle or lock cylinder on 2001 ex 4 door accord

My drivers door was hit and unrepairable, I found another door of the same color and just swapped them over, electric windows, locks, etc. Looks great, quick and easy fix. But I can't get the key cylinder out to swap them over, so I have been having to unlock from the passengers side (don't have keyless fob).
I have the panel off, took off the bar to the lock, took out two bolts, the handle is loose but doesn't come out, I can't get the bracket off the handle, and I can't see how to release the cylinder to come out.
Does anyone know what I am missing or have a diagram of what else needs to come off?
Thanks

Here is the parts diagram for the outer handle. This may help.

The other option is to buy a shop manual for your car. I got one from automanualsource.com for $21.99 as a pdf for my TSX and it is worth every penny.
