There is a retaining clip on the inside. Remove the rod, then pull the retainer and the cylinder comes right out. BTW, you will not be able to "repair" rust with bondo. It will just continue to rust underneath and the time you spent doing bodywork will go to waste. You need to cut out the rust and replace with good steel.

You can get rust neutralizer and encapsulator; check Summit racing or Eastwood.com.
If it were me and I was doing the body work, I would not take the chance. Cut out the rust and weld in a patch. You will be glad you did when your paint does not start peeling up and continuing to rust after you put in all the work.
