98 Grand Cherokee door lock cylinder replacement
 
Hey guys new here, first post. i'm buying a 98 Grand Cherokee and the door lock cylinders have been broken and pushed in. i was wondering how easy it would be to take off the door panel (without breaking anything), replace the lock and get everything back together.
It has automatic locks and windows if that changes anything

Once you have the panel off it is a pretty simple fix, the lock cylinders are held in with a clip.

How do i go by taking the panel off without breaking clips i watched a youtube video of some guy taking it off a 99 and he just broke clips off do i need a tool or just patience

There is a tool that can help remove those clips but they tend to get brittle as they age. Those clips can be purchased at most car parts stores. On my driver front door I drilled holes in the door panel and the door and put screws in to hold the door panel more securely. Of course I did it in a pattern so it looked OK. Stock upholstery screws are at local car parts stores as well.

I believe Tru Value Hardware does also.
