Pull the rear handle up and down while jiggling the door lock. I don't know why but it worked for me.

its really not that bad. i sussed out a method of getting the mechanism out that worked for me on both sides (had to do them twice in the end). also look out if you have to bend the latch thing, do it before you put everything back together!

all in all it really istn that hard, if you look in the How To topic that is aroudn somewhere, i posted up immedaitely after i did mine with a few extra pointers.
