I want to change to door lock set on my car. The question is does the inner door panel have to come off completely or can it be done with just part of it unsecured. Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Tommy

You shouldn't have to remove the panel at all. There is a slot in the edge of the door with the lock retainer in it. Pull the retainer and the lock comes out.

A 56 has a small rod hooked to the lock and the other end hooks to something else using a little clip if I remember correctly.
