Default How to remove door lock cylinder and handles for painting

Hi there,
I'm working on my 1998 Tdi Beetle and getting it ready for paint. I'd like to remove the exterior door handles to make it easier for painting. The manual I have says to pull the door lock cylinders first. To do this it say to loosen the screw thats under the plug which I've done, I've actually go the screw out. Whats the trick from here with the key?

Thanks,
Dave
