I am removing the driver door lock mechanism. The door would not open from the outside - I'm guessing something in the mechanism is worn.

I have everything disconnected from the lock except the red vacuum hose. Is there some trick to it? I am moving the hose connector in a circle and pulling it at the same time.

By the way, the job looked intimidating at first with all the hoses wires etc, but it's fairly straightforward.

Thanks for any help.
