I beleive there is a phillips head screw in the inside end that holds on a flat piece of metal, pay close attention to how the little spring is mounted under it. After removing that just insert the key and push the cylinder out towards the outside of the handle.

Not easily, it usually will break something to force it out. You can try to break the cylinder apart carefully.
