I need to remove the passenger door lock so my locksmith can make a new key. The only key I have is so badly worn they can't make a duplicate from it.

It is a 94 Tercel DX.

What tricks do I need to know so that I can get the darn thing off? So far I've managed to partially remove the door panel and I've managed to remove the bolts from inside the door that hold the handle to the door. I also removed a retaining clip that holds the lock in the handle. Everything is still inside the door. I can't see how to remove the lock completely.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well, I did it. The trick I needed was to move the lock in such a way so that I could see how the bar thingy was attached to the lock. The bar is attached to the lock using a blue clip of sorts. I moved the lock into view from the inside of the door and pryed the bar out of the clip and the lock was freed. Unfortunately it took me 3 and a half hours to do this and now the locksmith is closed. At least I got the lock out and now I can have a spare key made.
