Door lock barrell change

[Digsy]

I've recently bought a new door for my Supra so I need to change the lock barrel over. I've got as far as locating and undoing the two screws that hold the handle on (one of which goes through the barrell, and I can pull the handle away from the door and remove the barrell and let it drop into the door itself.

 

Problem is, it is (obvioulsy) mechanically linked to the door latch and because of where my car is parked (currently immobile) I can't get into a position where I can see how to remove it. Rather than struggle I thought I would just ask in here

 

Do I have to remove the whole latch assembly as well by undoing the two torx head screws in the edge of the door, or can I disconnect the barrell from the rest of the mechanism somehow?

 

Cheers,

if you look inside, you'll see a bar which goes to the latch assembly. At the top of the bar, where it attches to the barrel, there is a small white plactic clip which is attached to the barrel. This clips onto the bar. Unclip it off the bar (pull the clip towards the front of the door) and the bar pulls out.

Hi Heckler

 

When you say look inside do you mean from the inside, looking up through the door, or from the outside, looking through the hole where the handle goes?

 

Cheers!

Sorry, should have said from the inside... The bar will be on the right of the barrel, almost up against the skin of the door

Cheers Heckler. Only took five minutes once I could see the right bit!
