just done this last night, job takes about 30 seconds!

Put the key in barrel aftr removeing the locking screw from the edge of the door and twist the key backwards and forwards, there is a little off set lug which causes problems but just wiggle it

with the door open look at the lock assembly there is a screw next to the latch remove this first, using the keys gently rotate look whilst pulling towards you.
