I need to remove the door keylock mechanism before I take the LE to the body guy to have my fresh door dent removed. Exactly what do I compress to remove the lock body from the door? I don't see any kind of clip. But then I'm old and half blind. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Chuck - just got it & saw your phone message.....look inside the door & there's a little ring around the lock - black about 3/8" wide - has 2 'teeth' pointing towards door - they're also black & about 3/8" wide....pop that off the lock & it'll come out of the door...I've never had any luck compressing them; but, since the black band that goes around the lock isn't a complete circle, it'll come off.....I'll try to telephone to explain further.
 
thanks Tony I got it by compressing it. Who'd have thunk?
