Hey, bbster you're in the right section. I figured I'd give you a bump since I'd like to know the answer also!

Assuming you have the handle out and on the table in front of you:

1. Insert your key into the lock cylinder
2. Turn key 1/4 turn clockwise (locked)
3. Release the retainer by poking a small tool, such as an eyeglass
screwdriver in the slot on the RH side of the lock. Keep pressure on.
4. Turn the key another 1/4 turn.
5. Pull cylinder out.

Thanks C5 StockSwap! Now I can put the red handle on the red glove box and the black handle back on the black box. Life is good.
