Removing rear hatch motor unit

Hi, new here and have a question. I'm removing
the entire rear motor unit but can't get the plastic white tube (key
lock) out. I don't want to break it and I'm sure there is a simple answer,
but I want to make sure. It's a 1990 Firebird Formula, if that makes a
difference. Thanks for any help.

it should just slide off the lock cylinder

Thanks for your reply. I got the lock cylinder removed.
It helps to have a second opinion when attempting this
kind of repair for the first time. I appreciate it!
