Interior Door Lock (Stems?)

I have recently ordered some what I am going to call... Door Lock Stems... for the USDM Fit. I am talking about the little knob like things that would pop up when you unlock the door from the outside or you can pull them up from inside the vehicle to unlock the door as well. I know. Too much detail. I had to make myself clear.

Well... now that I think (hope) you know what I am talking about, has anyone changed these over to the metal type of stems? I have recently purchased them and was informed that these simply screw off and on. I am affraid to try any harder without damaging my vehicle... but... I have tried to turn them with a good amount of force and it's simply a no go.

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I belive when they came out, somebody said they were pretty hard to take off and that you may want to break out some plyers also wrap em in a cloth to prevent scratching of the stock ones..

Thanks. I am just worried that these may not unscrew on the USDM ones. I don't want to break them nor do I feel like removing the entire door panel to answer my question but I may very well have to.

Do you have a link to this being done?
