I didnt replace my lock, but recently had to reinstall the button on the handle that opens the door. It fell down inside the door. All I can tell you is that the lack of working space is what makes it hard. It took me about 2 hours to get everything back in working order.

Yeah, bottom line is that it is a bitch to get to the damn thing once you have the door torn apart. I suggest you take the door off the hinges and work on it at your bench.

Are you speaking about the lock cylinder or the door handle?

They aren't that tough to change. They're held in with a c-clip from the back. Just be patient and be prepared for some nicks and cuts.
