I don't think I've ever pulled apart a lock cylinder from your specific generation, but on some of the older ones I have done, I believe there was a small (very small) retaining pin.

Default Lock

When all the parts are taken off, the two tabs (arrow) have to be spread out, then the plug will fall right out....
