The factory tool kit is sufficient to remove the door card and the door check .

I find sometimes the ball bearings are worn and no longer perfectly round, this guarantees they'll jam up again, when you take it apart but sure to have it wrapped in a rag as those ball bearings go ! POING ! and you'll never see them again .

Long fiber lithium grease is the ticket here .
No plans to take it apart and reassemble since the arm is bent and I still have another good spare.

Working with springs is dangerous, one must be careful with eye/ face protection. I know a friend's brother (mechanic) while taking apart a power window years ago, a spring let go and hit one eye, result in total vision loss. What a shame!
