Order a new lock cylinder. First pull out the hatch surround trim by removing the 4 large plastic screws and two phillips screws near the hatch pull-down unit. To remove the lock cylinder pull off the latch actuator cable by prying off the white plastic part with a flat blade screwdriver. Once you have the cable off you'll see a spring metal clip holding on the lock cylinder from the inside. Pry that off with a screwdriver. It looks as if you'll be able to bang the sheet metal surrounding the lock with a hammer backed up with a metal block on the opposite side. Once you have it bent back into shape install the new lock cylinder and spring clip and pop on the hatch latch actuator cable.

I had a problem with my rear lock froze up on my 85 T/A . I went to a local locksmith shop and had a new clinder put in( they couldent get it open with all the oil thay could get in it) for $70. they are able to make your org. key work with it too!
