I've done this more on the old ("outie") style door handles, but I bet
it is very similar on the flush door handles.

When the handle is out, it should be apparent that one screw will
release the cylinder assembly.  Upon removal, the wafers will all sort
of stick out different distances, wiht little springs behind them.
there should be enough gooey lube there to stop them from flying away,
but be careful anyway.

Take notes as you disassemble, to make it easier.  replace the "new"
wafers with your old ones in the same order.  I actually once managed to
use all new wafers, since I had enough lying around to match all the old
ones (there are really only three "kinds" of them)

Once the cylinder is reassembled, inserting your key should cause all
the wafers that are sticking out different amounts to pull in so they
are all flush with the cylinder.  That's what allows you to turn it with
the key in.  Then put them back int he door handles.

I know there are extra issues with the alarm control mechanism, etc., on
those handles.  I think Chris Miller's site is the best resource for
more detail on getting that right.
