It's just as easy to pull out the wafers in correct order to rekey the
handle. There is a tiny
hole with an even tinier (slotted) screw on the side. You will likely have
to remove paint and
years of accumulated crud to find the hole. Use a precision screw driver
like those used eye
glasses. Once you've done that, the cylinder can be slid outward (out the
front side of handle).

Or you can just send it to locksmith to do.
