When trying to remove the spare tire lock, insert key turn nothing moves !! Does the lock cylinder just come out ,or the black bracket around it !! Sprayed WD-40 around everything -- no luck !! Thanks !!

Looks like I solved my problem !! With much tender persuasion, the lock cylinder came out---Two "O" rings around it--Chevrolet should have put a little lube on them---works great with a little silicone grease on them !!
