The parts are here. The links seem straight forward, the rattle gun or breaker bar ought to get them off.
The hard part for the lokh assembly I guess would be getting the door card off without breaking too many trim clips.
As I have not changed these before, anything to look out for?

I'll fire up the cameras for the repairs. YouTube fame and fortune here I come.

Wait…I have to pay you? I own a LR, I can’t afford to pay you!

Just before pulling off each clip, say a small prayer. They are delicate but if you have a set of clips which are available it makes it less stressful. The lock itself though is pretty easy to get to and hence to get in and out.

YouTube will pay me. $3 to $5 per 1000 ad views, so keep hitting that refresh button.

I have a box of various trim clips.

The door card came out easily enough and none of the trip clips had a catastrophic failure. I have undone the Torx screws and removed the multiplug. I am not sure on how to remove the cable and rods as these are on the far side of the unit and out of reach of my fingers.
Do I take the door handle off?

My bad. I didn’t realise that this thread is in the D2 section. I thought you had a D4. [emoji2369]
