Haines manual suggests removing lock mechanism etc. but managed to do in situ.
Remove inner door liner (5 screws in total - 2 hidden under handle cover)
Undo clip fitted to rear arm of door tumbler mechanism (connects to main door lock mechanism).
Insert key into tumbler.
Remove circlip on rear of tumbler while holding arm/spring assy etc. tightly. Then push out old tumbler and key.
Still holding arm/spring assy and using a spare key fitted in new tumbler push through in same plane as original. (tumbler wil locate on rear arm)
Refit new circlip
Job can be fiddley for 1 person, suggest you get a mate to help.
