WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
MATERIAL

Item Specification
Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5 ESB-M1C93-B
NOTE: Passenger side shown, driver side similar.
  1. Remove the front door trim panel. For additional information, refer to INTERIOR TRIM - LS .
  2. NOTE: When a new lock cylinder is installed, the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder should be installed as a set. This will eliminate carrying an extra key which will fit only one lock. If a new key is to be used, the new key code number is stamped on a metal tag attached to the key.
    NOTE: Individual lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative cylinder and building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build the new lock cylinder to the current key code of the vehicle.
  3. To remove individual components, only carry out the listed steps.
