Guys,
I have to fix my driver's side inside door lock - the piece with the threaded rod that the lock **** screws on to. Somehow, the threaded rod snapped off, leaving the **** lying on the floor while it was parked.
Has anybody done this job? Is it gonna be a real pain? The workshop manual didn't mention it (or I couldn't find it).
Thanks for the help.

On a related note, how do these things come off when they aren't broken? Recently I was removing my door panels and I couldn't get those ***** off. I removed the screw that holds it on and tried prying the **** off but it didn't budge. I was afraid I would break it so I left it in place and worked around it.

Drilled and tapped it. I don't think sheet metal screws would be a good idea. It's too thick to get a good thread that way.
