Rear Door Lock Assemble Removal

[RocketDude]

This is my first post here, so apologies in advance if this has already been posted ...

I'm in the process of converting my T6 into a camper and am applying lots of sound deadening. I want to apply some to the rear doors behind the lock assembly (barn doors). I can get everything off the big assembly plate except for the pushrod attached to the exterior handle. How do I disconnect this? Everything else seemed to come off without too much force but I just can't seem to get it disconnected! What am I missing?

Many thanks

Picture ?
Normally the push rods have a 90 degree kick in the end and you have to twist the plastic latch to the side to allow the rod to pull out

Dellmassive,
your answer was spot on! I was trying to disconnect the pushrod (8) from the TOP, I didn't realise that it came off at the bottom.

Job done!

Many thanks all
